Striped Esjan Kit | Townhouse Yarns

Striped Esjan Shawl Kit - Small Size

Pattern by Stephen West, paired with both Fade St and Abbey Lace from Townhouse Yarns.

Inspired by the dramatic landscapes of Iceland, the Striped Esjan Shawl by Stephen West is a soothing and creative project for knitters who love texture and colour. This top-down, semi-circular shawl begins with simple garter stitch stripes before introducing yarn-over eyelets that gently shape the fabric, offering a meditative rhythm as you knit.

The real showstopper is the wide border—large lace holes that increase in size, creating a beautiful scalloped edge. Worked with a glowing contrast colour of mohair silk, it’s the perfect blend of simplicity and drama, made even more special with hand-dyed shades by Townhouse Yarns.

Your kit includes:

• 2 skeins of Townhouse Yarns Fade St (1 skein each of two carefully selected shades)
• 1 skein of Townhouse Yarns Abbey Lace
• A printed copy of the Striped Esjan pattern by Stephen West

Also required but not included:

• 4mm circular knitting needle
• Tapestry needle

Good to know:

• This kit makes the small size version of the shawl – perfect for layering year-round.
• The combination of hand-dyed merino-silk blend and mohair laceweight creates a luxurious drape and glow.
• The project offers a relaxing knit with sections you can easily pick up and put down.
