Description

Knitting Kit – Dryade by Nathalie Bergeron.
The Dryade Shawl is worked on the bias from one tip to the other. It has a triangular shape.

The original design was made with 3 skeins of Flocon fingering.

Personally, I made the small version with a Sa Majesté kit in the colorway: Greg au Tibet.

The Dryade knitting kit contains 3 skeins, specifically:

2x *Sa Majesté* + 1x Numa, or 2x Bamys + 1x Numa.

♥ Suggested bases: *Sa Majesté* (base composition: 53% Baby Alpaca, 34% Silk, and 13% Cashmere. Untreated.)

or Bamys (base composition: 42% Baby Alpaca, 13% Merino, 10% Yak, and 35% Silk. Untreated.)

And Numa (base composition: 70% Baby Alpaca and 30% Silk. Untreated.)

Knitting kit includes:

One full skein on the Numa base + 2 skeins of Sa Majesté or Bamys.

According to Nathalie (the designer), Dryade was born, inspired by its beautiful soft colors.

In Greek mythology, Dryads are forest nymphs.

The Dryade shawl is suitable for advanced beginner levels and up.
