Age of Brass & Steam in Malabrigo!

Happy New Year, Friends! We're easing into the New Year with a classic (and free!) shawl design pairing two of our favorite Malabrigo yarns: The Age of Brass and Steam in Malabrigo Arroyo and Malabrigo Mohair! 

Age of Brass of Steam is a fabulous three-season neck warmer knit from the top down and begins with a garter tab cast-on -- a great cast-on to learn because it magically disappears into the shawl as you knit!

From there, you'll knit and purl your way through alternating fields of stockinette furrowed by simple yarn-over eyelet garter ridges. A tidy center spine adds structure and an extra clean visual interest. 

This shawl knits up easily and is a perfect pattern to showcase your favorite hand-dyed Malabrigo colorways! With Mother's Day right around the corner, this shawl would be such a thoughtful gift idea!

Malabrigo Arroyo is a delightful DK-weight yarn plied to knit up with satisfying stitch definition, comfortable drape, and pill-free durability.

Made of 100% superwash merino, it maintains Malabrigo's buttery soft standard and shows off its hand-dyed colors! 

Malabrigo Mohair is an elegant, laceweight blend of mohair and silk dyed in Malabrigo's famous colorways - you don't often see multi-colors this lovely on mohair yarn.

It works up beautifully on its own but positively shines as a companion yarn when it's carried alongside a strand of Arroyo (or Ultimate Sock!) for an extra dose of colorful depth. Carry it alongside a tonal or solid to see all of the colors in the Mohair, or match it with the same Malabrigo colorway in a different base yarn for an extra punch of full-tilt color! 

We used Arroyo in Polar Morn + Mohair in Indiecita. Here are some of our other favorite Arroyo + Mohair combinations:

Frank Ochre + Oasis

Hollyhock + Heirloom Vegetables

Flavia + Under the Sea

Carnival + Diana

Age of Brass and Steam can be knit in two sizes - a smaller kerchief (53" x 15") or a standard shawl (68" x 20"). Please choose your yarn quantities accordingly. 

You'll need:

• 1-2 skeins of Malabrigo Arroyo (1 for kerchief, 2 for shawl)  
• 2 skeins of Malabrigo Mohair (2 for both sizes)
• US 8 32" circular needles
• Age of Brass and Steam pattern (FREE on Ravelry!)
