All the yarn you need to crochet the fabulous Hotel of Bees shawl by Christina Hadderingh, in a gorgeous blue colourway.
Christina was inspired by a book by Anthony Doerr called ‘All the light we cannot see’, which mentions the house of a wealthy privateer who traded his pirate life to study bees. Because of this fascination you can see bees carved in the woodwork above doors. If you look up to the ceilings you can admire frescos of child-sizes bees. Even the bathtubs have the shape of a hexagon and the courtyard is ornamented by a fountain in the shape of a hive. The building is now a commercial hotel called The Hotel of Bees, the name used by Christina for this shawl.
N.B. There is no pattern included with this yarn pack. You can find out about how to purchase a copy of Christina's pattern here.
