Symphonic is a shawl that can make a statement while still being easy to wear. The crescent shaping gives great coverage and creates beautiful curly tendrils at each end, while the lace brings elegant drama. Drawing on the creative talents of multiple people, it’s a testament to what can be achieved when artists work together in harmony.
