The Cherry and Plum shawl is inspired by Hanami, a long-standing Japanese tradition of welcoming spring. Also known as the “cherry blossom festival,” this annual celebration is about appreciating the temporal beauty of nature. 
A fingering weight yarn in five shades of blooming trees is used to create this creatively shaped shawl. The size is easily adjustable and the number of color combinations to play with is endless.
