From subtle to striking, Shimmer takes lace knitting to the top of the statement-making meter. The silk adds a luxurious sheen to the softest baby alpaca, and the hand dyed colors are a visual treat. The alpaca and silk blend provides a level of warmth that disregards the feather light quality of the finished garment. A scarf in Shimmer will add a punch of color to your outfit, but a shawl could be the dramatic focal point of any ensemble.

"I love the silky sheen of Shimmer. It reflects light so beautifully, and the hand-dyed colors flow across my needles in an almost mesmerizing way. I'm excited to wear my finished shawl because it has different looks in different light - truly versatile."
-Tina B., Knit Picks Vice President
