Yarrow, or achillea millefolium, is among my favorite flowers. This shawl, Millefolium, is named for that gorgeous and hardy bloom. There are many varieties, and the yellow one that grows in my cold Maine climate is incredibly useful. Not only can it be collected for medicinal purposes, but it is one of the many flowers I grow that can be used to make beautiful colors on fiber. The yarn in this shawl, was dyed botanically by me.

The shawl itself is simple enough to let the colors shine. The lace spine helps to create a widened triangular shape that sits nicely on the shoulders or around the neck. All the lacework takes place inside of the increases so that it is quite simple to keep track of where you are in the lace pattern.

By all means, knit it in a solid color if you like! It will be just as lovely!
