| | VOLT
Easily one of the most popular patterns in the book, Volt is decidedly dramatic. Sharp gradient grayscale zig-zags are highlighted by brilliant lime green purl ridges.
The total effect of the palette and shaping is so striking it draws admirers wherever it goes. Knit with Isager Wool 1 (just one skein each of six colors!), the finished shawl is soft, light, and slightly sheer.
Although the samples shown were knit with Wool 1, we think that this show-stopping piece would look magnificent in a variety of fibers and colors. Mix and match your own palette - go light to dark or bright to pastel and make this design your own!
Listed below are a selection of yarns that will undoubtedly look magnificent in any one of these new patterns.

In this case, Grace Anna Farrow, author/ designer of The Fine Line, has landed squarely in the area of genius. A collection of stunning, (and completely mind-bending) shawls, The
Fine Line will both inspire and amaze knitters with six new designs that step away from everything we know about shawls.
By combining creative shaping, textured stitch patterns, and an impeccable color selection, Farrow has given shawls, traditionally considered flat and rectangular, a complete makeover. Forget triangles, rectangles and squares - think in ripples, zig-zags, and on the bias!
Deceptively complex, these patterns are much simpler to follow than one might assume. Most of the patterns are stockinette with simple shaping and the occasional stitch pattern thrown in for fun. No colorwork is necessary, the dramatic color changes are the result of the increases and decreases that create elegant bias panels.
Ideal for spring and summer, these light and airy wraps will add flair to any ensemble. Whether your taste runs from simple to elaborate, there's a shawl in this collection that will fit it perfectly. To fully appreciate the designs that make up The Fine Line, see our pattern preview or look at what other knitters have been making on ravelry.
