Designing this shawl pattern was a wonderful experience. Chandi, the Owner of Expression Fiber Arts, is an extremely talented dyer, with creativity for days.

Color. Nature. Texture. Art. So many things can inspire me to create an innovative design. Inspiration usually comes when I least expect it. Swarovski Crystals, a hank of yarn, a tv commercial, a picture, seashells, etc. 

Regardless of the craft, the basis of any design is beautiful textiles. As they say, "it's all in the details".

A blend of 50% certified organic cotton, 34% baby suri alpaca, 11% fine merino, and 5% bamboo, these hats are incredibly soft and ecofriendly.

Two colors? Admittedly, this threw me for a loop. Pantone has always chosen one color of the year. From a design point of view, grey is a timeless classic and yellow is uplifting. Certainly, we have seen this combination in both the fashion and interior design worlds.
