Birch

Kidsilk Haze has been a staple of Rowan's yarn line for many, many years. Here are the best selling colours for 2016.
Our ever popular Kidsilk Haze is a beautiful and versatile fine yarn made from a blend of super kid mohair and silk.
I've heard it referred to as Kid Crack Haze. Once you've used it you can't stop.

Birch is knit with 3 balls of Kidsilk Haze. The pattern was originally published in Rowan #34 but now you can download it for free on Rowan's website.
The pattern is written for both a stockinette and garter version, your choice (the difference that even rows are either purled for stockinette or knitted for garter) and measures a generous 80" wide and 40" deep. Knit flat, starting from the long straight edge down to the point, this triangular shawl looks beautiful flowing free and open or gathered in close.

Now it's time for Survivor. I'm almost finished the shawl. It's going to be close.
