Uraidla Shawl
In the hills that border the city of Adelaide there is a small town called Uraidla (you-raid-lah). When I was little, we would make trips there on Sundays to visit the market, and I have fond memories of enjoying all the handcrafts and produce on offer. I’ve named this shawl after the town as I think it’s the perfect accessory for exploring similar hidden treasures in your neighborhood!
