Hello, beautiful soul! Today, I have two treats to share with you. I can’t wait to tell you about a brand new, delightful crochet shawl pattern, as well as the return of our Limited Edition Ephemeral Fingering yarn. Keep reading to learn about this week’s colorful design and the scrumptious yarn we used to make it!

Halcyon was designed by Jane Vanselous. When asked about her pattern, Jane said, “I find colors fascinating – from the ways that they play with one another to their ability to create a mood or evoke a memory. The colors in this shawl immediately bring a sense of peace to me. I can recall the feeling of a light breeze in a lavender field, discovering bits of sea glass on the beach, or floating in the gentle waves of Caribbean blue waters.”

“Some designs are meant to challenge, while others allow our minds to wander. The stitch patterns in this shawl are easy to remember. The rows are worked across the length of the shawl, allowing you to fall into a relaxing rhythm. The length and width are easily altered, allowing you to customize this shawl and make it your own.”

This Adventurous Beginner level pattern is for crocheters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Stitches include single and double crochet and front post treble. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, as well as a schematic, and comes with a video tutorial.

Halcyon is crocheted with our Limited Edition Ephemeral Fingering yarn, which is a dreamy, 100% plant-based yarn indulgence (69% Peruvian Pima Cotton and 31% Lyocell)! I had this unique, luxurious fiber blend designed and created especially for you, so you won’t find it anywhere else. This yarn is imbued with a divine drape and an irresistible gleam.

Peruvian Pima Cotton is renowned for its unparalleled softness and breathability, and it possesses an exquisite smoothness that glides effortlessly through your fingers. It’s considered the finest cotton, due to its long staple length, supreme softness, and incredible drape and flow.

A gleaming strand of luminous Lyocell wraps around the cotton in an enchanting embrace and lends structure and sparkle to every stitch. Lyocell is a lightweight and airy fiber that’s derived from wood. It is highly breathable, hypoallergenic, super soft, and shines like silk. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without the softness of this yarn in your life!

The sample shown used approximately 2,130 yds/1,948 m total: Color A: 420 yds/384 m, Color B: 400 yds/366 m, Color C: 480 yds/439 m, Color D: 400 yds/366 m, and Color E: 430 yds/393 m. Our sample was made with one skein each of colors: A) Abigail, B) Madelyn, C) Natalie, D) Sarah, and E) Mary Ephemeral Fingering.

This yarn base and this year’s colors are Limited Edition. Once they are sold out, they are gone for good, so be sure to purchase all you need for your project.

We filmed a video tutorial showing how to work the stitch patterns featured in this shawl. Take a look!
