Description

This is is a beautiful, lightweight handknit asymmetric shawl, modelled here by my fabulous model, Drusilla. It is perfect for most occasions, including weddings and proms.

It took many hours of work to create this shawl. It is made from a blend of oatmeal coloured Bluefaced Leicester wool, mohair and pink hand dyed silk. I spun this into a single ply yarn of varying thickness and then knitted this into an asymmetric lace-patterned shawl, which can be work as a scarf round the neck or draped round the shoulders and fastened at one side with a shawl pin.

This shawl is absolutely unique and will never be recreated, just like you!

Measurements:
Width from tip to tip – approx. 140cm
Depth from centre neck edge to centre bottom edge – approx. 65cm
Weight – approx. 105g

Please note that if you are not used to wearing mohair garments you may find this a little tickly to begin with.

Wharfedale Woolworks began in 2010, when I took redundancy from ma dull office job and opened an online shop, originally offering hand-dyed yarns and fibres. After completing a Masters degree and taking on a new job I no longer had time to dye on a regular basis, so took a break for a couple of years. This year, after reducing working hours for a better work-life balance I am now re-opening and offering hand dyed yarns, handspun art yarns, prepared fibres in different formats for spinning and also some luxury hand knits and woven textile wall hangings.

I am autistic and suffer from fibromyalgia and depression.  I’m also awaiting assessment for ADHD, so all of my fibre related activities are highly therapeutic and restorative. I take great pride in my work and I value my time, so items are priced to account fairly for this. I hope you gain as much enjoyment from my products as I did from their creation.
