The Kim Shawl

A few weeks ago, I finished a long shawl that I had been working for about seven weeks. It is made in LB 1878 wool yarn from Lion Brand, in plum. I have named it "Kim," after my beautiful Aunt.

It is approximately 5 feet 3 inches long and about 3 feet 2 inches wide.


Since it is made in wool, the texture is a little coarse. I like this, though. It makes the shawl a bit more masculine and present when I wear it.


I always prefer scarves and shawls that are long and wide. I want to be wrapped. A beautiful shawl really adds depth and intrigue to an outfit.



The item will be available for sale soon in my new shop, which I am currently designing. [Update 5/10/2012] - This shawl is now available in my new shop
