The Dísir shawl is part of the beautiful and unique knitting book named Sjaler Nordfra in Danish and Nordic Shawls in English.
The book has 18 gorgeous shawls designed by Karen S. Lauger, inspired by the wild Nordic nature and the stories of the creatures that live there.

Dísir are female spirits in Norse mythology. They are always described in groups, and preside over fates, give fertility, and guard people and places. The Valkyrie, the Fylgje, and the Nornes are dísir.

Dísir er overnaturlige, kvindelige væsener. De beskrives altid i grupper, og de bestemmer skæbner, skænker frugtbarhed og værner om mennesker og steder. Valkyrier, Fylgjer og Norner er disir.
