Fika Shawl

The Fika Shawl is a light and elegant piece featuring delicate cables that flow beautifully across its entire length. The design is classic and timeless – perfect for tying together the colors in your outfit or adding a touch of personality to a neutral wardrobe.

It’s knitted in the super-soft and airy Önling No 4 yarn, available in a wide range of colors, so you can choose exactly the shade that suits you.

The size is just right – neither too big nor too small – making it easy to style either as a light wrap over your shoulders or as a soft scarf around your neck. With identical cables on both sides, you get a shawl that’s as easy to wear as it is beautiful to look at. A shawl that feels like a little everyday luxury – and one that’s sure to become a favorite in your wardrobe.

Designed by Inge-Lis Holst for Önling.
