The pattern
About Sélénite
The lightness of the yarn is punctuated, here and there, by contrasting rows, like so many colored fragments come to disturb the immaculate whiteness. These glints, knitted with three mini-skeins in chosen shades, create a soft, unexpected rhythm, a discreet common thread through this vaporous piece.
Sélénite is a stole to admire as much as to wear — a celestial breath, mysterious and ever-changing, bringing a touch of clarity and poetry to winter.
