Thraven

On March 2, 2010, in lace, shawl, by Anna

I’ve always been enamoured with the Raven Clan colours from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. It’s all black yarn with shades of colour.
Black is one of my absolute favourite colours, and for many years I wore nothing but. I’ve definitely branched out and as you can see from my knitting I like all sorts of other colours too. But black is special.

I had a chance to examine many of the Raven Clan colours at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival last year. Some of them had much more colour than I had imagined, and others were wonderfully black with just a hint of other colours. My favourite was Thraven, which is black/dark gray with hints of bluish greens.

I’ve been eying Laci in Thraven for a long time, and now that I finally have a skein, I’m ready to get going on another lace design. Casting on today for a top-down triangular lace shawl.
