Arguably closest in color to aventurine with pyrite inclusions, the shade of this garment is akin to the prehnite and serpentine families, somewhere between green and blue with translucent golden flecks. This wool and silk blend shawl is generously sized at 90" end to end with 50" sides shaping down to the V in back and 32" from that V to the top edge. The 2" border along the lower edge begins with an eyelet stitch row, adding openness and movement to this gorgeous shawl. Bits of black are interspersed with gold against the blue-green wool, creating visual interest and adding texture to the traditional stockinette stitch of this pattern. Soft, warm, and fluid, the drape of this piece adds dimension to the rich color under different lighting conditions. Simple and elegant, this piece is sure to be a wardrobe staple.
