Inspired by La Bien Aimée's gorgeous dyeing and her love of large rectangular shawls, Joji Locatelli created the ever-popular Fading Point shawl. Through gentle transitions from one color to the next, each skein fades into the next. Panels of lace are sprinkled throughout the shawl, giving the piece movement, and adding to its beauty.
Fading Point is constructed from both ends towards the center, and then both pieces are connected with triangles to achieve a seamless rectangle. Joji recommends that the darkest skein is color 1 and the lightest skein is color 5. The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
We are offering three colorways, the Original used by Joji (the piece she is modelling), Bay (featuring our custom LBA color, Day by the Bay), and Headlands.
