Quality materials for knitters and crocheters, with a focus on locally-sourced and sustainable products
Ishq (pronounced ishk), designed by Nidhi Kansal, is a crescent-shaped shawl, featuring a lace pattern combined with twisted rib, and knit with 2 skeins of Messa di Voce, a fingering-weight superwash merino wool (shown here in Canneberge).
You can find all 25 colours of Messa di Voce here, and you can purchase the Ishq pattern on Ravelry or PayHip.
One of our favourite parts of collaborating is getting to know talented and creative people from around the world, so we asked Nidhi to answer a few questions about herself and her design process for a blog interview.
