Valley Yarns Chiyo Mobius Shawl, designed by Wendy Bestor, epitomizes a warm hug with a graceful twist that means it will always stay on your shoulders. Bands of lace alternate with a plain weave that showcases the beautiful hand-dyed Charlemont. Change up the colorway to suit your taste; the natural color of the Tencel and Alpaca Silk provides the perfect complement. And the combination of fibers is deliciously soft, drapey, and quite warm for its light weight.
