ALTOCUMULUS
ALTOCUMULUS
This triangular shawl was inspired by the comforting feeling of gazing up at the clouds. The combination of mohair and lots of texture creates a fabric that you cannot wait to squeeze between your fingers and wrap around your shoulders as you embrace the changing weather outside. The mohair also adds a foggy haze without subtracting from the textures in the body and trim and gives the shawl a lofty appearance. Finished off with tiny tassels that will bring some movement into the accessory and flutter when they get caught in the wind.
