From the very first day of summer, the long hours of daylight slowly get shorter, and the bright clear tones of the season shift, imperceptibly at first, towards the rich hues of the coming autumn. So, too, the colour changes in this completely reversible shawl, which smoothly transition one to another, creating a beautiful gradient of colour and texture.
