Silva Shawl

Silva, meaning a woodland or forest, is a fitting name for this rectangular wrap shawl. An elegant leaf designs pops off a reverse stockinette background, further accentuated by the subtle color variances in the hand dyed yarn. Somewhat reminiscent of the depth and detail we enjoy on a woody walk.

The better part of this project is the bouncy, hand-dyed yarn or watching the texture come out on the border… Whatever part is your favorite, you’ll end up with a genuinely stunning wrap.
