Summer in Spoleto Shawl Kit

Description

Embrace the spirit of summer and the allure of Spoleto with the Summer in Spoleto Shawl, designed by Candace Evans. Inspired by the cultural tapestry of the Festival dei Due Mondi in the town of Spoleto, Italy, this asymmetrical shawl pattern blends garter stitch and lateral braids for both structure and accent. This easy summer shawl offers a canvas for creativity through color play, stripes, and varied texture, mirroring the convergence of music, art, dance, and theatre at the annual celebration.

Knitted in Luma, a lofty blend of organic cotton, linen, merino wool, and silk, this DK-weight yarn offers a luxurious yet breathable knitted fabric. Luma’s exquisite drape and sheen enhance the shawl’s elegant aesthetic, while its lightweight nature ensures comfort during warmer months.
