AZAFRAN SHAWL
The magic power of saffron (azafran in Spanish).

The use of saffron goes back more than 3500 years and crosses various cultures and civilizations. Indeed, in ancient Egypt, for example, it was used in many medicinal recipes. Another history fact is that at the time of Alexander the Great it was used not only in culinary preparations but it was also said that Alexander sprinkled his bath with it because he was convinced of its healing properties. Later, in the 14th century, the saffron commerce became very coveted; so much so that pirates of the Mediterranean preferred saffron instead of gold.

Would you dare to let yourself be carried away by the magic of saffron? If so, than this Azafran shawl is all what you need. Don’t wait to knit it and start as from now to imagine and dream of all the magical benefits this spicy shawl will bring you.
