Yorkshire Meadow Shawl

Yorkshire Meadow is 150g shawl is designed to bring a pop of color to your wardrobe, while remaining wearable and versatile. It is large enough to wrap up in, without taking as long to knit as other multi-skein projects. Beverly, one of my dearest friends who introduced me to the beauty and personality of the city of Baltimore, inspired the name of this shawl as Beverly means from the meadow and likely originated in Yorkshire. Like my friend Beverly, Plied Yarns calls Baltimore home and I am continually encouraged and inspired by their creativity.
