MASAI SHAWL SAND
This lovely flower shawl got its curious name after the dark and gorgeous model who was the first to be photographed wearing this original sand-coloured shawl - and who looked exactly like a proud Masai woman. This beautiful shawl has beige tones as background and warm orange/red tones for flowers. Stalks and the inside of the flowers are subsequently embroidered on.

Every year I select new designs to be knitted in Sri Lanka. These are usually different designs than those knitted the year before.
The designs are always knitted in small editions, so you are sure to get a unique product when you buy a hand-knitted design from me.
The MASAI SHAWL SAND, is knitted by hand by the most skilled knitters in Sri Lanka and it takes about 3 - 4 weeks to complete this masterpiece.
I have had the pleasure of working with these Sri Lanka women since 2012 and each year 60 knitters knit for me full time 3 months a year.
