Originally designed for year 13 of our Pro-Verbial Yarn & Fiber Club, the Ausma Shawl and fresh colorways are now available for all!

Inese says, "Ausma is Latvian for sunrise/dawn. When I received the Reliquary II colourways, their beautiful low contrast hues reminded me of the early summer mornings right at the dawn, when the first drops of light slowly are pouring over the meadows, adding a gentle glow to everything it touches and seeping through the thin layers of summer fog.

Ausma is designed to showcase the lightness and versatility of the beautiful Reliquary II laceweight yarn and highlight the contrasts between textures achieved with alternating panels of the yarn held single and double. It also is an invitation to explore a gentle colour shift by holding MC and CC double, creating a blended colour change within the body.

Ausma is a symmetrical shawl knit top down. Flower lace panels of the main body knit in a single strand of Reliquary II in MC are alternated by texturally rich puff rib stitch sections worked in MC and CC held together and culminating in the end ribbing knit in two strands of CC held together for a brighter contrast."
