Re-imagining my favourite take-everywhere shawl in my new favourite yarn has been an absolute joy.

I sample a lot of truly amazing yarns, but this recycled cashmere gave me an instant WOW moment. Gloriously soft with a subtle halo that blooms upon blocking, it creates a delicately light yet exceptionally warm fabric.

The Agatha shawl was the perfect match. It takes just three 25g skeins of BC Garn Alva to create a generous, wonderfully luxurious wrap which you’ll reach for every day.
