Knit yourself a topographical representation for your next outdoor adventure. Inspired by vintage topographical maps, the Topo Shawl features intarsia colourwork. Use earthy tones, or take inspiration from greener or bluer pastures and let your imagination create a beautiful landscape. Included is a diagram to colour in and try out your ideas. This shawl is a collaboration with The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers as part of the 2025 Wool and Wonder collection.
Topo Shawl yarn kits available here.
