A curated collection of romantic colourways, chosen especially for Shawl Society Season 6: Field Notes from London by Curious Handmade.
This season is inspired by slow wanderings through London — hidden corners, soft textures, and the quiet, in-between moments you notice when you take your time.
For the first design, Serpentine Pavilion Shawl, Helen Stewart has used a single skein of our ACM base in the colourway Sweet Cheeks. Inspired by that same softly atmospheric mood, we’ve gathered a palette of colourways that feel quietly romantic and gently moody.
From soft neutrals and warm rosy tones to muted blue-greens and deeper earthy shades, each colourway offers something a little different, while still sitting beautifully together.
As the shawl requires just one skein, it’s a simple and satisfying project — an easy way to choose a colour that feels just right for you.
Kits are dyed to order and will ship in approximately 2 weeks. Pattern is not included and can be purchased separately via Ravelry.
Why we love it
This is the kind of project that feels both calming and quietly engaging.
A single skein makes it easy to begin, while the texture and detail keep the knitting interesting without feeling complicated. It’s well suited to slower, more thoughtful making — something to return to at the end of the day and enjoy, row by row.
Perfect for
Knitters looking for a one-skein shawl project that feels relaxed, wearable, and gently detailed.

ACM is a delightfully soft and airy yarn, spun with a cotton core that remains white after dyeing. This creates subtle white flecks throughout the yarn, adding gentle depth and texture to each colourway.
