The construction creates a strong structural axis, from which the geometric lines and botanical motifs develop progressively toward the border. **Features** Elyndar is worked using my Filigree technique that allows the motifs to emerge with clarity and depth, balancing clean geometric lines with a rhythmic sequence of leaf motifs that remain consistent through the body of the shawl. At the border, the motif expands dramatically, creating a bold visual shift. <hr/> **The pattern is fully written and charted.** **Size:** One Size. **Finished measurements:** Length 170 cm / 67”; width max 100 cm/40”. <big>**Yarn**</big> **MC:** Le Moire Yarn Grimorio(42% Baby Alpaca, 35% Mulberry Silk, 13% Merino, 10% Yak; 437.5 yards [400 meters]/50 gr), col.
