Crystal Bay Shawl

Explore the enchanting beauty of Crystal Bay, located at the north end of stunning Lake Tahoe, known for its deep waters and breathtaking views. This idyllic spot is home to the renowned Cal-Neva Resort, famous for its unique swimming pool that elegantly crosses state lines between California and Nevada.

The stunning colorway from Schoppel Wolle Gradient serves as the main inspiration for this piece, although it can be adapted to feature tonal or solid colors for a personalized touch.
