You’re heading out for a night on the town with your girlfriends and you’ve got your LBD, your chunky heels and your lipstick on – but it’s cooler outside than you expected! You dash back inside and grab your Quiver shawl – the perfect pop of colour to complement your simple, slinky outfit and keep your shoulders warm while you’re wandering between bars! This gorgeous, funky shawl is worked up in a merino/silk blend fingering weight yarn with a long, slow gradient and is the perfect mix of luxe and practicality. The simple combination of Old Shale stitch and bands of eyelets creates a unique shape and feel to this crescent shawl, and the garter ridges add that splash of texture needed to really make your outfit sing! Finally, the slow colour change of the gradient yarn effortlessly oozes style to match your wardrobe.
