The Tornved shawl is named after a picturesque hamlet in rural Denmark, where my beloved great-grandmother, Lily, lived in a cozy cottage. Lily faced the incredible challenges of raising 18 children during the tumultuous years of the Great Depression and World War II, all without the conveniences of running water. Despite these hardships, she maintained a warm home with just a kerosene stove. Lily’s legacy of resilience and creativity inspired me to design this shawl as a tribute to her strength and love. She taught me to knit when I was very young, instilling a passion for this beautiful craft that I cherish to this day.
