Luci del mattino“ shawl is inspired by dawn, when everything is still sleeping, the gentle light of the sun caresses everything and gently creeps into thees, alley between houses, windows that are still closed, caresses the walles, between a play of light and shadows that accompanies the birth of a new day.

Thank you, Perfetti matasse a colori, for the yarn support, for trust and availability.
For me it was an honor to work with an italian indie dyer, “ Luci del mattino” is made with two skeins from the Alba Collection, color Castelluccio.

The shawl has an elongated asymmetric triangular shape to be wapped around the shoulders, it has a very simple construction in which there are garter sections, relaxing and pleasant and lace sections that make the work interesting, with easy to memorize repetitions the realizations of this shawl is a relaxing and stress- free experience.
