Living on the westernmost island of Denmark, my next door neighbour is the North Sea. Every day I watch the migrant white birds on the thunderblue sky, on their way to far horizons. That is my inspiration for this beautiful shawl which already has become my favourite.
Measurements: 230 cm x 110 cm (width x height)
The yarn is Supersoft lambswool from Scotland.
Please note that all our HANDKNITTED shawls are unique, therefore the sizing may vary slightly.
Each knitter decides for herself how she mixes the colors, therefore no two shawls are alike. However, the same colors are used for each shawl, but the way the colors in the base and pattern colors will follow each other, will be unique for each shawl.
You can also knit this shawl yourself, if you wish. Buy the knit-kit here. The pattern is available in Danish, German, English and Dutch.
