This World Shawl is an asymmetric triangle design knit with alternating panels of single and two-color fisherman’s rib. Encased in an i-cord edge, this soft, squishy wrap is perfect for a quiet walk on the beach or a quick added layer for a chilly evening out. This design is inspired by the newest album released by Julian Lage entitled “The Layers.” The track, “This World,” is light and ethereal and the two guitar voices move simultaneously, weaving in and out of one another, weaving together a melody that is both complex and soothing.
