Biscolata Shawl

The Biscolata shawl combines the sweet essence of ‘biscotto’ (Italian for biscuit or cookie) with the creamy allure of ‘latte al cioccolato’ (Italian for milk chocolate). It alternates two colors to highlight two captivating stitch patterns weaved together: the graceful swirls of cables and the bold diamond texture.
