The Alvar shawl is part of the beautiful and unique knitting book named Sjaler Nordfra in Danish and Nordic Shawls in English.
The book has 18 gorgeous shawls designed by Karen S. Lauger, inspired by the wild Nordic nature and the stories of the creatures that live there.

Sejd - or seidr - is the ancient Norse sorcery performed by Vala - the female scryer. Sejd is connected to future telling, magic and transformation, and is performed to ensure fertility and the favour of the gods.

Sejd er den nordiske trolddomskunst udøvet af Vala - eller Vølven - den kvindelige seer. Sejd er forbundet med spådom, magi og forvandlingskunst. Der udøves sejd for at sikre frugtbarhed og gudernes gunst.

The pattern uses 100 g/450 m of each of the 3 colors.
