Product Details

The motifs in this shawl are inspired by my childhood fascination with the Emperor Gum Moth caterpillar. Emerging from a background of stocking stitch, this unusual moth is accompanied by a little scarab beetle with outstretched wings - two unlikely insects with their own distinct beauty. This shawl used right and left twists to enhance wing shapes and antennae and merge like tendrils into a lace border decorated with optional picot points.
