We've been looking and looking for a design that will show off the beauty and grace of Hand Maiden's Swiss Mountain Silk Cotton - finally, we found it. Ilga's Musetta is simply designed to drape and flow, to move when you move, and to use every bit of light to your advantage - truly, Ilga has captured the essence of Puccini's Musetta. And like Musetta, her shawl is flirtatious, yet generous: to wear it is to discover just how lovely you can be. We feel that Swiss Mountain Silk Cotton is just exactly the right yarn for such a graceful and charming shawl - you'll love the drape and the soft feel of it. Even more, you'll love the way it's understated elegance becomes captivating beauty as Musetta.
