Designer Kristen Ashbaugh-Helmreich of Kristen In Stitches, an avid hiker, camper and all-around national parks fan, has designed the Natural Wonders Shawl with full-skein fingering-weight trios from the A National Parks New Year countdown box from Indie Untangled! The speckled, semisolid and variegated colorways fade together in a blend of textured stitches and eyelets that evoke the beauty of U.S. national parks in winter.
