Linocut
Part of a capsule collection designed by Emily Greene for Brooklyn Tweed, the inscribed lines of the Linocut shawl echo the traditional printmaking techniques of the same name. Linocut is offered in three different sizes: a shawl, a medium wrap and a long wrap. Raised garter lace in a geometric pattern suits Peerie’s structure perfectly and Brooklyn Tweed considers this pattern a level 3 out of 5 in difficulty and offers it as a hard copy only.
