Creation:
The fabric for this shawl was woven on a Louet floor loom using light grey and dark grey and very dark navy fine merino lambswool yarns. An eight shaft deflected doubleweave design was used. Once the fabric was woven it was removed from the loom and washed to remove the spinning oils which helps to stabilise to fragile yarn when weaving. Removal of the spinning oils causes the fabric to full and soften creating a beautifully soft shawl.
Dimensions:
Length is 1.74m. Width is 38cm so it has a generous width allowing it to be draped across the shoulders.
