Lavish Land; inspired by the ripe promise of season in full leaf, this shawl is sumptuously rich and luxurious. The fabric is given lush drape by triple plying; a technique which simultaneously maintains a shimmering airiness to your fabric. Yet all this splendour is achieved by working with one ball of yarn at time (instructions provided on how to achieve this trick), and stitch patterns that are simple and intuitive and knit up at speed
