Named after the Welsh Goddess of Sun and Flowers, Olwen is a knitted shawl with textures of honeycombs and flower petals on the reverse side. Try knitting this shawl in bold gem tones for an alluring dragon scale look.

Olwen has a beaded picot bindoff but instructions are included for those who do not want to use beads.

The shawl features Selkie DK, a BFL and Silk blend yarn hand-dyed in-house by Stranded Studio that contains a high silk content that provides excellent stitch definition and luxurious shine and drape for shawls and spring wear.
