This Sample was designed for Barcelona Knits 2026. 

There are places that are special because, for a few days, they bring together people and 
their stories from all around the world. Then, when everyone heads home, they carry with 
them new lessons, new friendships, and memories that will stay with them long after the 
moment has passed. On this occasion, Barcelona Knits will be that meeting place.
In a way, it’s just like Vilano—that delicate structure that holds a dandelion seed and 
allows it to travel on the wind until they find a new place to take root. A simple image, full 
of meaning, that inspired me from the very beginning as I designed this shawl.

The pattern is available here.

ABOUT THE FIBER

THE WOOL

These sheep live the good life in the Basilicata region, roaming free among the ancient forests. Based in the Italian Biella textile district our supply chain is a well-guarded secret, ensuring quality and embracing social and environmental sustainability at every step.

THE FIBER PROCESS

All processing takes place in Biella's luxury textile district, home to ancient and invaluable craftsmanship where the human touch still makes a significant difference.

RECCOMENDED CARE

Handle our soft and delightful yarn with care. It's delicate nature requires gentle attention for a soft, airy fluff finish. Be mindful of its fragility when winding and knitting with it. With proper care, your final product will showcase the beauty of this yarn without any compromise in quality.

WET-BLOCKING

  1. Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
  2. Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
  3. Soak work for 30 minutes or longer allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
  4. Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
  5. Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
