Cloudscape
Cloudscape is a reversible triangular shawl worked side-to-side with i-cord edges in a soft merino silk fingering weight yarn held together with a lofty kid mohair silk lace yarn. The simple and stylish fabric of the shawl is created by alternating stocking stitch and reverse stocking stitch sections.
