Brighton Rock Shawl
This is a super easy shawl to make. The only issue really is the ends, you change colour on every row! However, if you crochet them in as you work then this isn't a huge problem. Linen stitch is a lovely stitch to use, the pattern it makes changes depending on how you stripe the yarn, if, like in this shawl you change colour on every row you get vertical stripes. To give it a pop of colour we have added some Pink (Bubblegum) stripes and also used it in the flower edging. If you would like something a bit simpler a picot edging would look great too.
You will need:
Plump DK: 3 skeins of the main colour (MC) shown in Blueberry Muffin, 3 skeins of the contrast colour (CC) shown in Pavlova and 2 skeins of contrast colour 1 (CC1) shown in Bubblegum (NB, one of these is for the edging).
4.00mm crochet hook (I am quite a loose crocheter so you may prefer a 4.5mm)

Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.

Using your yarn
All our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
