Shifting tones of Piper held double create a beautiful garter-stitch fabric that’s both substantial and airy. Taking cues from ever-changing sunlit seascapes, Katrine Birkenwasser worked up this design with two strands of Piper, changing colors one strand at a time for a subtle, shifting marled effect over this short-row shaped, asymmetrical triangle shawl.
