Have you ever knit one of Nidhi Kansal’s patterns? We’ve been fans of her work for a few years, especially her eye-catching and elegant shawl designs, so we were thrilled when she agreed to create a new pattern with our Messa di Voce yarn!
Ishq (pronounced ishk) is a crescent-shaped shawl, featuring a lace pattern combined with twisted rib, and knit with two skeins of Messa di Voce, a fingering-weight Superwash Merino wool (sample shown in Canneberge).
We’re celebrating the pattern release with a discount! Use ISHQ-LOVE and get 15% off any purchase of two or more skeins of Messa di Voce until June 24, 2024.
We love working with designers, and one of our favourite parts of collaborating is getting to know talented and creative people from around the world. So we asked Nidhi to answer a few questions about herself and her designs process, and we’ve posted them as a “meet the designer” interview on our blog. Nidhi is also a talented photographer and has shared some of her beautiful photos. We hope you’ll check out the post and that you enjoy getting to know her a little too!
Our Messa di Voce yarn comes in 25 vibrant colours and is hand dyed with slight tonal variations to give a subtle texture to your knitting. This versatile fingering-weight yarn is 100% Superwash Merino wool and is suitable for anything from gloves to garments to shawls. We have a good selection of our most popular colours available now, but if you don’t see your favourite in stock please feel free to let me know and we’ll make sure it goes to the top of our “to-dye” list!
