The Kuuse shawl (named after the Estonian word for spruce) is inspired by the rich heritage of Haapsalu knitting. The shawl’s delicate leaf motifs are designed to reflect nature’s beauty, to preserve tradition, and offer a meaningful knitting experience to makers of all levels. The shawl is worked with two strands of yarn held together — a light woollen yarn and a silk-mohair. You can easily adjust the number of repeats to make a shawl to suit you and your yarn combination.
