ABOUT THE 'IT BRINGS YOU JOY' SHAWL BY JOJI LOCATELLI:

In today’s hectic world, finding moments for inner peace can be a challenge, but Joji's original Some Me Time shawl was born from the belief that such moments are invaluable. 

It Brings You Peace is a natural continuation of the journey that began with Some Me Time.

A simple, mindless project to help us pause, breathe and embrace the moments of tranquility and self-care.

This shawl has a very simple construction, with a central spine, and it alternates sections of garter stitch, vertical stripes done by slipping stitches (no brioche) and the simplest lace.

Every effort has been made to remove any excess dye from the yarn, however a little may remain, particularly with dark and rich colours.  It is therefore recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects on their own, in cold water, with wool wash or a mild detergent.
