The Virdek Shawl is a beautiful shawl featured in the Grand Shetland Adventure Knits by Gudrun Johnston & Mary Jane Mucklestone. A virdek is a pile of stone acting as a type of marker, also known as a cairn. The texture of this yarn evokes a carefully stocked cairn along the way. Knit with Jamieson's of Shetland Spindrift, which is a fingering weight 100% Shetland wool yarn, this design is a beautiful way to wrap yourself in cozy Shetland wool.
Just choose your favorite colorway and we'll tuck all of your lovely yarn into The Woolly Thistle Tote along with stitch marker. You'll be ready for anything with this beautiful knit by your side.
