Henness

Introducing the Henness shawl, a stunning two-color striped accessory that takes the form of a crescent shape, featuring a beautiful cabled bind-off that adds an exquisite finishing touch. This shawl is designed to showcase the interplay between a variegated yarn and a coordinating solid, allowing your selected yarns to truly shine and stand out.

The Henness shawl is inspired by a scenic road located in Yosemite National Park. I fondly remember a memorable trip with my mom, where we aimed to witness the park blanketed in snow. Unfortunately, a warm week prior had melted it all away, but we were rewarded with breathtaking views and incredible photo opportunities. Despite the absence of snow, the beauty of the park and the journey there remained unforgettable.
