This top down shawl was designed for Reykjavík´s second ever yarn crawl. With specially hand dyed yarn from Goosey Fibres, colours inspired from my favourite Icelandic Saga Njála which every Icelander reads in school. It´s very brutal even by Viking saga standards.
The main characters Gunnar, Njáll, Berþóra and Hallgerður all get their beautiful Goosey Fibers colours.

The dropped dip stitch section can use as many colours as you please. Perfect for stash busting.
