Barr'd Harbour
Barr’d Harbour is a large, fun triangular shawl. It’s knit in two halves top-down with eyelet ribbing, and then joined by the colourwork spine in the centre. Knit, purls, and slip stitches form the stranded colourwork spine, with only two colours worked each row. The 50% wool, 50% hemp Chalet yarn makes it feel like cool butter gliding on your skin in the summer and warm butter around your neck in the winter.

Size
173.5 cm (68.25”) long X 69 cm (27.25”) deep
Yarn
ArtFil Chalet (50% Hemp / 50% Merino wool; 120 metres / 131 yards per 50 grams) in:
main colour (MC) Plage: 900 metres / 985 yards
contrast colour (CC1) Fôret: 35 metres / 40 yards
contrast colour (CC2) Déténté: 15 metres / 20 yards
contrast colour (CC3) Citrouille: 10 metres / 15 yards
contrast colour (CC4) Hibou: 10 metres / 15 yards
If using sample yarn, you will need 8 skeins of MC and 1 skeins of each CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4. Please alternate skeins of the MC as you work since this is hand-dyed yarn.
Gauge
Ribbing Stitch: 24 sts and 29 rows to 10cm / 4” with gauge-size needles after blocking.
Stranded Colourwork: 25 sts and 33 rows to 10cm / 4” with gauge-size needles after blocking.
Needles
Both gauges were achieved with a 4mm (US6) needle. Use a needle length of at least 100cm (32”) for the ribbing and colourwork. For the i-cord edging, I recommend using either two fixed circular needles of 100cm (32”) in length or use the cable connector to join two cables in your interchangeable need set.
