Another amazing piece by Nim Teasdale.

The Design

Here is how Nim described this beauty:

Renaissance Fan was inspired by the fascinating feather fans of the 17th century.

It creates the illusion of a folding fan when used in a yarn with a high sheen, such as silk or tencel, or of the vanes of a feather when worked in a matte yarn such as cotton or wool.

The shawl increases using a memorable and easy formula, gradually adding feather eyelets before resolving into a shower of smaller feathers in an edging that can be repeated to a much larger size.

A strikingly gorgeous shawl, don't you agree?

Nims suggests between 550 - 700 yards (503 - 640 m) for this lovely shawl.

Nim told me that she used the beads for this piece as a sneaky way to keep track of rows. They are completely optional; your shawl will be lovely with or without them.

If you choose to use beads, all that is needed is 195 size 6/0s.
