Inspired by deer grazing under waves of mist on a snowy February afternoon, Winter Roe features garter stitch in dynamic stripes and an elongated picot cast-off.

Alternating rows of whisper-light mohair/ silk and drapey, toothy wool result in a shawl that is large but featherlight, warm but airy, fluid but a little bit grabby… these qualities, combined with a Faroese gore and V-shape that enable it to cradle the neck and remain in place, make Winter Roe an incredibly comfortable shawl to wear.

Wingspan: 250cm across the upper edge of the shawl Depth at centre: 60cm
