Cat Bordhi designed this lacy linen shawl as the ultimate yoga accessory. The hems are worked in the round in Cat's preferred method of working with two circular needles instead of the more common four or five double-pointed needles. After an invigorating session of yoga, wrap up in the shawl, and experience total relaxation. Visit our website at www.interweave.com for a coordinating lavendar-filled eye pillow.
