sea glass is, perhaps, the most beautiful rubbish to be found. sharp shards get worn down into smooth shapes by continuous tumbling through strong waves. that same process is what erodes tall cliffs and beachfronts. this shawl travels from large rocks through to gentle sand in its stitches. choose a gentle colour like yoth yarns’ honeydew melon to reflect the palette of sea glass often found.
