Cynthia Newman explains the thought behind this shawl: “CARGO SHIPS, BRIDGES, GRAIN SILOS, and machines—industrial design inspired the Graphite & Gold shawl. Fascinated by the patterns and texture that appear when light shines across the surface of rivets, concrete, and corrugated steel, I turned to Lunatic Fringe Yarns’ Gray Matter Collection to create a design with an industrial look. The Gray Matter Collection is a gradated scale between black and white, which works well for creating depth and dimension.” 20/2 Tubular Spectrum™ Mercerized cotton yarns included to make 1 shawl: Very Dark Gray (1.5 oz cone) Dark Gray (4 oz cone) Middle Gray (2 – 1.5 oz cones) Gold (1.5 oz cone) OR make 2 shawls: 20/2 Tubular Spectrum™ Mercerized cotton yarns included : Very Dark Gray (2 – 1.5 oz coned) Dark Gray (8 oz cone) Middle Gray (4 oz cone) Gold (1.5 oz cone) Additionally, you will need: 8-shaft loom with 18″ weaving width 12 dent reed Instructions in: Loom Theory: 8-shaft Shawl Collection 2019 from Long Thread Media.
