On the Spice Market von Melissa

On the Spice Market by Melissa

Melissa’s On the Spice Market shawl is absolutely wonderful – the colors are beautifully balanced and remind me of distant markets filled with scents and spices. And best of all, there’s a special story behind the design since she gifted to shawl to a friend, for her wedding. 💕

I made this version of the popular On the Spice Market shawl out of Jennifer Guyer’s beautiful Pace and Presence yarn. It’s her third yarn line designed from wool that is grown, sheared, sorted, milled, and dyed in the western US--largely in Colorado. It’s a soulful stash kind of yarn that makes you think of place and the sheepy friends who give us their warm wool each year! The yarn is 2-ply and can be purchased in 300yd skeins (neutrals) and 100yd skeins (colors) and it’s GREAT for color work!! All of the colors are overdyed and have a beautifully heathered appearance. I loved working with the yarn and after its washed it blooms beautifully! Completely colorfast and the reds, purples, and greens are some of my favorite--but Jennifer has so many colors to choose from!

My only modification here is that the center has 3 repeats instead of 4; this allowed me to make the shawl with 1 x natural skein and 6 x different colors.
