Kotiri Shawl

Kotiri is Te Reo Maori for “Shooting Star”. Such as with many cultures around the world, the Maori also attributed meaning to meteors. They were thought to “convey fire to Earth, or to be stars that the sun or moon had struck down”. Bright shootings stars were seen to be as a good omen, and augured the passing of great leaders and the rise of new ones.

Combined with the swooshing, flowing shape of the asymmetrical triangular shawl, you get a dynamic yet elegant piece of knitwear that sits so lightly on the shoulders to make you feel cosmic.

May this shawl serve as a reminder of the magic and greatness that resides within you. As a handmaker, be intentional and conscious as you knit, envisioning yourself as someone radiant and bright and give yourself permission to feel empowered. In order to create a impact in our lives, we must place ourselves at the center.
