Easy Shawl

Spring is one of my favourite seasons, as it tends to always keep me pepped up as well. This is the time when you can hear birds chirping softly as new buds cover the greens. For all the lovers of this season, here is a beautiful, easy to k

nit shawl, as sometimes there is still a bit of a chill in the air. This would be delightful in Katia Darling ... which of course, we stock. Pop in and see Jo and discuss how easy this is to knit up.

Katia Darling is 60% Merino Superwash & 40% Nylon. A colour card and more information about Katia Darling can be found on Katia's website http://www.katia.com/lana.php?idLana=darling
