AYLA our new favorite shawl

AYLA is a timeless triangular shawl with a clean, striped design. It can be worn beautifully draped open, where it falls softly and lightly. It looks just as lovely when loosely wrapped around the neck in two to three turns. The two short edges are finished with an I-cord, creating a neat, high-quality edge that harmoniously completes the design. Our new favorite shawl is knitted in N°50 by Herzfasern.
