Dee O’Keefe Designs Trunk Show

In conjunction with our Hazel Knits Pop Up event, we are hosting a new trunk show from local designer Dee O’Keefe!

Featuring a series of detailed shawls, this collection from Dee promises to dazzle. Each shawl is an approachable knit, requiring either worsted and DK weight yarn (and would be delightful knit up in either Hazel Knits Lively DK or Cadence!), filled with the intricate textural details that set Dee’s designs apart. These modern takes on the classic shawl will surely inspire you to make an heirloom piece to call your own.
