With nearly 800 yards (732 m) of exquisitely handspun Polwarth and silk laceweight yarn to work with, I wanted to design a pattern that would be easy enough to knit but also showcase the gorgeous gradient of color in the yarn. This starburst of a shawl features three delicate leaf lace patterns. The pi-shawl construction makes this a surprisingly straightforward knit.
