A study in balance and light, this shawl begins at a slender point and unfolds gradually, its cables flowing like braided light across a gentle diagonal. Worked flat from point to point, it grows with measured increases to the center, then recedes in mirrored decreases to close the form.

The interplay of texture and softness gives it quiet depth and a sculptural grace. Draped over the shoulders, it brings a sense of calm, structure, and understated beauty.
