A shimmering mulberry silk yarn from independent hand dyer Skein Queen makes this shawl feel very special indeed. It is shaped to sit neatly around your shoulders, with a triangular ‘teardrop’ shape and a central spine. The lace pattern is reminiscent of the blooms of exotic orchids and forms a scalloped lower edge.
