When you step outside on an autumn day, you can often smell the earth. That is the feeling this shawl tries to encapsulate. Both the abundance and the bareness of earth. There’s plenty of texture in the ruched ends and also clean lines in the wide rib.

Earth is part of the Four Elements shawl series. Fire and Water have been released and Air is coming this winter.
