Blütenzauber was inspired by the transition of spring to summer and the magical moment when nature transforms and gives us an abundance of colorful natural beauty to admire. The bobbles represent buds and the yarnovers and diamonds indicate the transition and opening of these buds to flowers. Very light weight but long Blütenzauber is an ideal companion for Spring/Summer evenings when you don’t need a jacket anymore but would still like something to hug your shoulders for extra comfort.
