“This shawl developed around a cable that I couldn’t get out of my head, and when its meandering tendrils are turned upside down they bring to mind complex, interlocking root systems. The garter stitch top and bottom borders lend visual grounding, but a sense of upward movement as well to counter the downward-tangling cables.

Imbue Sport’s melty stitch definition shines in this juxtaposition of textures, and three sizes allow you to create the accessory that best suits your needs - a smaller kerchief, a shoulder-hugging shawl, or a large wrap to cozy up in.“ — designer, Mary Weaver
