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.

Vala is a Nordic priestess and scryer. She is powerful and alluring - a woman who is given great respect and is looked upon with awe due to her gifts of sorcery and future telling.

Vala, vølven, er præstinde og seer. Hun er magtfuld og tiltrækkende - en kvinde der nyder stor respekt og vækker ærefrygt for sine evner til at øve sejd og spå om fremtiden.
