Frostbeam is a combination of a lot of wonderful things: Sheepy yarn meets lace, cool teal meets heathery grey, fun-to-knit construction meets FO that you don’t want to take off, ever. The parallelogram shawl is worked from tip to tip, with the ribbed contrasting color border knitted at the same time as the lace for the main body - no picking up of stitches here! Frostbeam is reversible, meaning the lace looks good from either side, which is a huge bonus for any shawl in our books!

This single-flock yarn is 100% lambswool, spun from the wool from the lambs' first shearing, and hand-ddyed about 50 miles from where the sheep were raised.
It's woollen-spun which means it's delightfully light and airy, yet warm and cozy. Marina dyes a stunning range of jewel tones and bright pops of color that are wonderful combined with their undyed creamy white and heathered grey siblings.
"Sunny" colors are dyed on the creamy white based while "cloudy" colorways are dyed on grey.
