Nordic Wind in 5 colours of Lett Lopi

With the last few days of rain and cooler weather, excitement is building for fall/winter knitting--wooly sweaters, hats, shawls, socks and mitts will be flying off our needles!  To start off the season we reworked a favourite shawl, Nordic Wind, in a new colour palette of rusty reds, curry, heathered grey and off-white. Knit at a loose gauge and blocked heavily, the Icelandic yarn used in this pattern creates a feather-light shawl with lovely drape (hint: we soak our Lopi garments in Eucalan and a bit of hair conditioner for a soft finish).
