Originally designed for our Pro-Verbial Club by Ririko (aka Handmadelife), the NamiNami Shawl is now available for all!
Inspired by the seaside; the stitch pattern emulates waves, gradually growing as they roll onto shore. The colorway created especially for Ririko and her design calls upon the shades of purple seen when tidepooling -- as the waves roll out, tiny pools and crevices appear, where lavender sea anemones, mauve sea fan, and purple mussels reside and tiny crabs scurry about. One of the best things about natural dyes is being able to recreate colors that we see in nature, in this case subtle shades of dusky purple and wine resulting in the colorway named Mystical Potion.
To celebrate, the release of NamiNami and our collaboration with Ririko, we are offering the original colorway, Mystical Potion, as well as two new colorways: Nectarine and Denim. We followed the same pathway in the dyeing process to create these colorways - overlapping multiple dyes and colors to create micro-hues. The way Ririko designed NamiNami allows these shades to come together effortlessly.
NamiNami is knit with Reliquary II, our laceweight yarn made of wool and silk, and results in a lightweight, soft fabric speaking to the ethereal design.
