Ostara captures the essence of the season: balance, the light from the sun, the awakening earth and the abundance to come. This reversible half-pi shawl is filled with simple, rich texture, yet the overall feeling is that of lightness thanks to the eyelets radiating throughout. With three colour blocks, it also offers the perfect opportunity to play with colours. What will your combination look like?
