Maivember – a pop of color in the gray

November can be gray and dull – but just like back in the day with the “Maivember” radio campaign, even gray days can be filled with color and joy. My Maivember shawl captures exactly that feeling: a little piece of sunshine you can wrap around yourself, knit with love and lightness.

The hand-dyed yarn from Walk Collection brings bright, cheerful shades into your stitches, turning each shawl into a small work of art. Perfect for making the chilly season a bit more colorful and cozy.
