there are stories and symbols that cross time and continent, connecting humans and cultures in shared tales so old that it is impossible to track their origin points. these folklore bind us together, weave the human experience into a broader tapestry, and ultimately always bring us back to the core questions and wonders of our shared lives.

how fitting that this shawl could transport from time and place to fit into so many wardrobes without a second thought (although it may indeed warrant a second glance). a gentle cabled texture in the upper portion of this shawl gives way to alternating garter and colourwork sections, ending with an optional fringe for an extra-large shawl. wrap yourself up in your own lore.
