The Java Knitted Shawl is a relaxed, wearable wrap designed to let beautiful yarn shine. Worked in Noro Kakigori, this project allows the colour to unfold naturally as you knit, creating a finished shawl that feels polished without being complicated.
 
Lightweight and comfortable across seasons, Java is the kind of project you can settle into and enjoy. It’s engaging without being overwhelming and results in a piece you’ll reach for often, whether at home, out to dinner or travelling.
