Inna Voltchkova was delighted when she discovered Treenway Silk’s Luxury Silk-Blend Trio. Each yarn in the set is a blend of silk and exotic animal fibers: Gokana, 80 percent silk/20 percent cashmere; Silken Fog, 55 percent silk/45 percent yak; and Camelot Chameau, 55 percent silk/45 percent camel. All are perfect for lace knitting.
For this project, Inna knitted three cowls, using the same pattern for each of the three yarns. She incorporated traditional Orenburg-style lace motifs—Beaded Way, Strawberry, Honeycomb, and Flies. You can dress up the cowls with a favorite shawl pin or brooch. Inna uses a lovely shawl pin made by her friend Natalia Wilson, a knitter, designer, and founder of YarnCon.
Materials needed:
Finished sizes: Camelot Chameau (tan) 30½ inches (77.5 cm), Gokana (white) 34¾ inches (88.3 cm), Silken Fog (gray) 43½ inches (110.5 cm) in circumference; each, 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall; blocked
Gauge: 23 sts and 37 rows = 4 inches (10.2 cm) in chart patt, blocked
