    • We ADORE Natasja Hornby's designs! And her Mosaic Shawl patterns are simply divine!

      Artus is a rich tapestry of texture and colour. The mosaic border is easy to work, allowing for creative colour combinations that consistently produce fantastic results.

      Artus is not a delicate, sheer layering piece; instead, it’s a substantial wrap with a distinct presence. It stands out and adds character to any outfit while keeping you warm and cozy. It’s both eye-catching and functional, a true statement piece.

      We have picked our fav yarns that fit the brief for this amazing shawl, including the origina Rustic Heather Sport! For more yarn suggestions, and to learn more about them, watch our Instagram LIVE videos where we chat with Natasja about the shawl, and then show you the yarns.

      We've created graphics to help visualise the combos.
