KNITTED IN a delicious blend of alpaca, silk, camel and cashmere, this shawl by Sarah Hatton feels wonderful when wrapped around your shoulders. It has a long, narrow, slightly crescent shape, which is wider in the middle, and has blunt ends. The fabric features a pretty stitch pattern of textured ribs and flower bud motifs. Our sample has been worked in Road to China Light yarn from The Fibre Co. which is available in 21 sophisticated colours and offers a soft halo and a lustrous sheen.
