The stunning Rowan Berry shawl adds delightful pops of colour in the autumn and winter months, offering unexpected yet much-needed vibrant surprises during the dreary seasons. Picture stockinette as an overcast sky; in contrast, the intricate lace and charming nupps resemble bright berries that truly liven up our days.
