Fir Cone Lace Shawl Using Jamieson's Ultra
The Design
We think the classic eyelet pattern of our Fir Cone Lace Shawl is the definition of romantic. It’s fine enough to be beautifully lacy and opaque enough to be cozy! Designer Becky ffitch was inspired by Shetland lace patterns found in historic stitch dictionaries—so we love the nod to tradition, too!
Of course, for a Shetland lace pattern, we had to choose a classic Shetland Wool—Jamieson’s Ultra. It’s a fingering-weight blend of half lamb’s wool and half wool from Shetland sheep—the same wool we love in Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift and Shetland Heather Aran! Shorn from a diminutive breed of sheep that’s adapted to the rugged Shetland Isles in the North Sea, the hardy fleece is springy, lofty, and lightweight. It’s perfect for intricate lace projects and pieces you’d like to be both light and warm!
