I wrote the original version of this design in 2012 with a yarn that is no longer available. Here is, 8 years later, a revised and updated version of this design that is dear to my heart!
The drape and the silky look of the Algua Marina is perfect for this design and since the design requires the insertion of beads, I took my time to find the "rough pearl". I fell in love with beads made from amazonite stones, producing naturally unique beads!
As the look of this shawl reminds me of the tail of a peacock, I named the design “Paon d’or” in french (english translation: Golden peacock), thus playing with words to refer to the name of Pandora which in Greek means "endowed with all Donations". Happy knitting!
This kit includes 3 skeins of Algua Marina from the Louise Robert Design Collection, 70% silk, 30% seacell (100g – 250 m / 275 yds each) and a pack of round, Amazonite Stone beads, enough to complete your Paon d'or project!
We would LOVE to see your version of this one-of-a-kind pattern! Use the hashtags #paondorshawl and #alguamarinayarn to share your WIPs and finished Paon d'Or Shawl projects on Instagram!
CAUTION ON WINDING: In order to preserve the delicacy of this fibre, we advise you to wind any skein of Algua Marina with great care.
