Orenburg lace shawls are traditionally knitted from very fine yarn hand-spun on spindles from goats down.

This class is suitable for confident knitters. Experience in lace knitting is not essential.
You will be given an Orenburg inspired shawl pattern to take home.
You will need to bring 3.5mm needles
