M?kutu Shawl

“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”

? Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

From the transformation of raw sheep's wool to a beautifully spun skein, and finally to the delicate dance of needles creating a finished object, each step in this fiber's journey is awe-inspiring. It’s fascinating to recognize how knitting has evolved over centuries, preserving its magic while embracing innovation.
