Color Boost Shawl by Comfort Zone Knits

About the Pattern

Color Boost is a stylish and romantic crescent-shaped shawl, worked seamlessly in flat stripes with a fingering merino held alternately with a lace mohair. The combination of two yarns in different weights and textures gives the shawl its airy, luminous character — the mohair fluff highlights the colours of the variegated merino beneath.

A Martin's Lab × Comfort Zone Knits collaboration. The original sample was knit using two of our hand-dyed bases held together.
