When I started designing this shawl, I knew I wanted to make something influenced by the natural world, and the color palette I received from Blue Sky Fibers instantly made me think of tumultuous clouds rolling overhead. The Mammatus shawl is named after those bumpy, lumpy clouds that often form before a storm.

Thank you to Blue Sky Fibers for providing yarn support, and a huge thank you to Anna Daku of The Bluebird Box for the tech editing help!
