The Empress Wings Shawl, A FREE pattern with Wool Warehouse

I’m thrilled to finally share the Empress Wing Shawl my brand-new design, created exclusively for Wool Warehouse with the launch of their gorgeous Yarnsmiths Headliner yarn.

The Empress Wing Shawl is a classic top-down triangle wrap with a modern twist: gentle lace sections that echo butterfly wings, balanced with textured stitches for interest and drape.

It’s the kind of project I love – mindful, soothing to make, and endlessly wearable. Whether you’re new to shawls or looking for something timeless, this design is for you.

Yarnsmiths Headliner (4 ply) works beautifully with a 4mm hook, giving wonderful stitch definition and flow.

I’d love to hear what colours you’d choose, rainbow brights or soft pastels? Let me know in the comments 💚
