Milk Thistle Kit

About Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle is a textured kite-shaped shawl with a unique flower design by Béatrice Mase. The shawl has been designed so that each shade of Cumbria Fingering has a different stitch pattern; garter and stockinette stitch, herringbone stitch and a stunning flower stitch.

Milk Thistle is the third pattern from our new collection, The Almanac Series, a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns. This collection will feature a new design every month, and each in a different yarn according to the qualities of the yarn to match the season. Milk Thistle is our design for November’s Yarn of the Month; Cumbria Fingering.
