Parchment Shawl
By Eve Reichmann
The parchment shawl was inspired by hand dyed yarn from Babble
& Stitch by Veronic Sax for Chicago 2023 Yarn Crawl from Evanston
Stitchworks. The yarn crawl’s theme was the public library system’s
150th anniversary. This shawl is a great beginner friendly symmetrical
triangle shawl that uses two skeins of worsted yarn.
