Inspired by the night sky and the rare sight of a meteor shower, this large triangular shawl is the perfect accessory for keeping out the chill. Be it on a summer evening or autumn morning, Shooting Stars will soon become your go-to shawl.

The mix of Wensleydale and mohair in Whistlebare’s Yeavering Bell gives an ethereal glow to the stripes of silver lace ‘shooting’ across the purple sky. Featuring a simple lace repeat on a stocking stitch background, this elegant shawl is ideal for those wanting to experiment with colour.
