This colourway was a collaboration with Laura Nelkin and pairs perfectly with the shawl and poncho in her Flowsaic collection. It was originally released a year ago as part of Laura's N Club and is now available to everyone.

The patterns are called Flowsaic. Like mosaic. And tesserae are little bits of tile - the materials you need to make a mosaic.

Flowsaic patterns are not included, and can be purchased here. This listing is for one skein of our Merino Twist SHAWL yarn (170 g / 4 oz) with optional bead kit. The pattern can be worked with or without beads. 

Samples are Merino Twist SHAWL in Tesserae (170 g / 6 oz)

Striping Patterns

 

Round Trip Designed with two matching halves—perfect for projects like socks, mittens, or sleeves where you want identical results. One 100 g skein of fingering weight is enough for an average-size pair of women's socks. For longer or wider socks, choose the 150 g size.

One-Way Trip A long, non-repeating color sequence. Great for hats, cowls, or scarves—ideal when you want a journey through color from start to finish. For a Musselburgh Hat, 100 g of Trifecta or MCN is enough for a size L hat but you will need 150 g if you'd like a wide, folded brim. 4-Ply has more yardage so 100 g is enough to make a folded brim. 

Shawl Yarn Specially dyed for top-down triangular shawls. Each stripe is the same width from beginning to end, with no ends to weave in. 100 g of fingering weight is enough for a small shawlette. 150 g gives a more generous size.

Sweater Yarn  Designed for garments like baby sweaters. The stripes appear only on the yoke, and the rest is a coordinating solid color—no switching yarns or breaking the flow.
