This beautiful shawl project by Jannie Taylor was originally published in the January/February 2012 issue of Handwoven and combines shadow weave with spaces in the warp and weft. Those spaces add mystery to the patterning in the fabric and a lightness to the shawl overall. Two drafts for the shawl are included in the project, one for a 4-shaft version and one for the original 8-shaft version.

Project at a glance:

  • Project type: 4- or 8-shaft.
