A Shawl to Knit in Honor of Indigenous Peoples

October 11, by Sarah White. 1 Comment

The Truth and Reconciliation Shawl was designed by Julie Paige in honor and remembrance of the thousands of Indigenous children who died at residential schools in Canada. But it is a lovely way to honor the Indigenous people of any nation and to take some time to remember the often dark history of native/settler relations.

Page designed the shawl with guidance from a member of the Indigenous community and it features an eagle feather motif as a symbol of respect, honor and love.

The original shawl was knit in orange fingering weight yarn (orange being the color used in Canada to raise awareness for Indigenous people), but you can of course work yours in whatever color you like.

Pattern sale proceeds benefit Indigenous Peoples Service First Nation Child and Family Caring Society. Learn more and grab the pattern from Ravelry.

    Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for featuring my design and cause on your webpage! It means so much. I want to shout out to Yarn it! in Cobourg. Ontario, as the owner dyed over 80 skeins of orange yarn during the month of September and donated the proceeds to this as well. Combined we have been able to raise over $2500.00.
    (Just a small silly edit-but my last name is Paige). 🙂
