Shawl - Cloudy Day Blues - Triangular - outlet Peruvian Cotton

CLOUDY DAY BLUES: Every day in Scotland the sky is a continuously changing panorama of clouds, sunshine, mist and rain. The Isle of Skye is no exception and the locals jokingly call the rain "liquid sunshine". This shawl incorporates shades of blue cotton yarn in my Skye Summer Shawl pattern design to reflect the ever changing sky and clouds with edges finished in traditional Shetland points.

TRIANGULAR: Traditional Scottish triangular shawl shape enhanced with lace patterns from the Shetland Islands made into my own Celtic-inspired designs. I use a wide palette of non-traditional colors inspired by the beauty of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Each shawl is individually named for locations or panoramas on the Isle of Skye.

Hand knit, durable and warm; perfect for layering. A stylish shawl with uniquely Scottish facets that can be worn in a variety of ways to fit most all body shapes and sizes. Hand washed and blocked to stabilize color and sizing. Consider one of my shawl pins to secure the shawl around your shoulders depending on how you wrap it.
