After three long years apart, my college roommates and I embarked on yet another Southwestern journey, this time to Taos, New Mexico. I created this shawl specifically with the bold artwork characteristic of the region in mind. This Faroese style shawl has a center panel down the back and slight shoulder shaping to help keep the shawl on your shoulders during cold autumn mornings.
