Elbert Scarf is available on Etsy for $4.95

This amazingly warm shawl is my goto addition for a dressy night out. Light and delicate, Elbert will keep your bare shoulders cozy. The name comes from the highest peak in the Colorado Rockies, Mount Elbert (14,440 feet). The lofty and light cloud-like texture of this yarn is a reminder of the atmosphere one would experience on a Rocky Mountain summit.

The Elbert shawl is perfect as a spring or summer accessory. This might also be a knitting inspiration as a special gift for a beautiful bride to wear in the evening at her summer wedding.
