About Zen Yarn Garden ...
Zen Yarn Garden, Inc. is based in Ontario, Canada and run by full time husband and wife team, Roxanne and Neville Yeun. They take pride in providing the most luxurious fibres available for their yarns and dyeing them in a range of beautiful semi-solid and one-of-a-kind colourways.
Zen Yarn Garden yarn is special! They know that every hank you buy is destined to have many hours in your stash and on your needles before it becomes a garment or accessory item that you will wear proudly. With each skein, they strive to reflect the same passion that you have for your projects and craft in our yarns.
Neville Yeun is the Lead Dyer, Production Manager & Color Chemist. He works hand in hand with the studio team to make sure that each hank of Zen Yarn Garden shines — whether you are buying a dozen for a sweater or a single treasured skein. Dyes are applied carefully and accurately to re-create colourways you love, while our painterly one-of-a-kind colourways reflect the artistry and celebration of the process. The depth, tone, and colour of Zen Yarn Garden is hand-dyed on hand-picked, luxury yarn bases, spun in either Canada or Italy.
Neville's wife and co-owner, Roxanne Yeun, is the Creative Director. Responsible for managing the growth of the company and relationships with stores and customers across the world, Roxanne is constantly working to keep your attention through innovative new products and beautiful design collaborations.

Migration Shawl
by Shireen Nadir
The Migration shawl (so named for the ‘flying V’ formation in the first chart, reminiscent of Canada Geese) is a one skein shawl designed for The Blue Brick Killarney Sock or Point Pelee Lace yarn. The shawl uses basic lace on the right side rows, and all wrong side rows are ‘rest rows’ - all purling.
Migration is perfect for showcasing a long run gradient and blocks to a generous 50” wingspan.
Instructions are given in the pattern for adapting to different yardages.
Materials:
1 set of Zen Gradients or 420 mtrs – 550 mtrs of fingering weight yarn
4.5mm needles
Pattern – available for purchase from London Yarns, through In-Store Ravelry Sales
Finished Measurements: 50” wingspan (size is adjustable)

With lace that is decadently simple and a construction that flows, this crescent-shaped shawl is the epitome of delight and comfort. Knitters of every level will savor stitches that ease through the beautiful colour gradients.
Materials:
1 set of Zen Gradients or 480 mtrs of fingering weight yarn
4mm needles
Pattern – available for purchase from London Yarns, through In-Store Ravelry Sales
