The Peaks and Valleys Shawl boasts an Intarsia landscape scene, artfully repeated three times across its width to craft a stunning statement piece. The abstract landscape incorporates eight colors, providing the flexibility to explore various color palettes. Adaptations for a table runner or pillow are seamless by working fewer pattern repeats. The Garter edges are neatly finished with applied twisted fringe. Knit with yarn made from 100 percent recycled wool, this shawl is not only visually striking but also environmentally conscious.
