Dunedrifter Shawl Kit | Wool & Pine | Townhouse Yarns Tara 4ply

If you're looking for a lace shawl project that's engaging to knit without feeling overwhelming, the Dunedrifter Shawl by Wool & Pine might be just the thing.

This elegant asymmetrical triangle shawl combines a flowing diagonal lace motif with a modern shape that sits beautifully around the shoulders or wraps comfortably around the neck. Paired with two skeins of Townhouse Yarns Tara 4ply, the finished shawl has all the qualities we love in a handmade accessory: lightweight warmth, beautiful drape, and a fabric so soft you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again.

Yarn Notes

Tara 4ply is a luxurious blend of merino wool, yak and silk. The yak adds rich depth and complexity to the colour, while the silk brings a gentle sheen that helps the lace details shine. Together, they create a fabric that feels wonderfully light but still offers enough warmth to take the chill off a cool morning or evening.

Pattern Notes

One of our favourite things about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls spend more time folded in a drawer than on your shoulders, but Dunedrifter has that elusive combination of beauty and practicality. The elongated shape stays put surprisingly well, whether it's draped over a dress for dinner out or wrapped around your neck with your favourite jumper and jeans.

The shawl begins at a single tip and grows gradually through a combination of simple increases and an easy-to-memorise lace pattern. As the project unfolds, the lace panel sweeps diagonally across the fabric, creating movement, drape and plenty of "just one more row" moments.

Whether you're new to lace knitting or already have a collection of shawls on your blocking mats, Dunedrifter offers a satisfying knit and a finished piece you'll be genuinely excited to wear.

Why You'll Love This Combination

Wool & Pine's clean, thoughtful design pairs beautifully with Tara 4ply. The lace remains crisp and defined, while the merino, yak and silk blend creates a shawl with exceptional softness and drape. It's the kind of project that's enjoyable on the needles and rewarding long after the final stitch is bound off.
