Arashi, which is Japanese for “storm”, came to be during a very tempestuous week - high winds, dark, cloudy days and seemingly endless rain, and got its name because whenever I looked at this gorgeous colorway, the image of the strong, stormy sea came to mind.

The shawl has a rather unusual trapezoid shape and is knit outwards in two directions from the center. Elongated stitches frame the simple yet elegant lace pattern that makes it a piece you can easily dress up or down. The smocked stitches at the center of the shawl make the texture really stand out.
