This throw uses 9 different colors and geometric lines to depict a scenic landscape of evergreen trees and mountains fading into the distance. Intarsia Mountain uses intarsia and lots of garter stitch worked flat & top down with a chain edge for a classic finished look. This design was inspired by the book The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey and the weavings of Sarah Warren.
