Biophilia
Immerse yourself in the abundance and wonder of nature. Bask in the sunshine, walk through the tall grasses and create moments to connect in the marvelous life that surrounds you. Open the garden gates and explore the world of Biophilia. Fall in love with all that life has to share while wrapped in this warm luscious shawl, filled with delightful all-over cables. By taking my love of nature and life and combining it with my passion for cables and knitting, this shawl is truly a work that is close to my heart.
