The fifth and final shawl in the Classic Fantasy Shawls collection!

A crescent shawl inspired by the movie Krull.

To help the heroes find Lyssa in the Black Fortress, Ynyr the Old One journeys to the lair of the crystal spider to ask the Widow of the Web where the Black Fortress will shift to at sunrise. It’s quite a touching scene where we discover more about Ynyr and how he knows the Widow. Past actions are redeemed through sacrifice to help save the world.

Using two skeins, bands of cobweb lace are topped with spidery legs which then flow into a slipped stitch section resembling hourglasses. We finish with another band of lace before binding off in our original colour to show how our past can be forgiven.
