70% Abruzzese wool
Light Fingering (uk 4 ply) weight with 50g – 300m
This shawl sounded like a perfect match for our Aestiva base, a shawl to wear all year round with its lightness and structure, . Turned out a quite large garment to wrap into, with an effective stripe pattern to construct with endless color combinations.
The construction in fact creates a lovely combination of color and texture stripes, the generous size offers millions of styling options, and the yarn blend keeps the fabric airy yet warm.
We opted for subtle shades , but you may choose to build a color combination with morecontrst and colorful options browsing the whole Aestiva palette
