In the words of the editors…
“The endless golden fields of grass, wheat, and barley that can be found in eastern Montana sparked Elena Solier Jansà’s imagination to create Golden Grass. Referencing time-honored Aran knitwear but incorporating a more organic motif, this versatile shawl features alternating panels of twisted stitches, cables and bobbles.
This special piece of knitwear embodies the feeling evoked when surrounded by hundreds of miles of open sky, where the fields are the only thing wrapping you in their embrace. An expanse as textured as a field of grain, the execution of a shawl as epic as Golden Grass will be a triumph you’ll bask in for years to come.”
