Caroline’s Skies is a long, rectangular shawl featuring scalloped edges, delicate lace and mirrored cables.

Inspired by the astronomer Caroline Herschel and her discoveries, the scallops are based on a lace collar she was pictured wearing, while the cables and lace represent her discoveries of nebulae and comets in the night skies.
