This subtly textured shawl is designed to wrap around your shoulders to keep the chill off while out for a walk on a crisp winter day, or settled on the sofa in front of a crackling fire.

’Câlin’ is French for ‘cuddle’ and the name is embodied in the ‘hugs and kisses’ cabled border which envelops you in a warm embrace when worn.

The shawl is triangular in construction, starting at the center of the neck edge and working down to the point.
