Description

This is is a beautiful, lightweight handknit and beaded shawl, modelled here by my fabulous assistant Drusilla. It is perfect for any formal occasion and is guaranteed to get a few wows!

It took many hours of work to create this shawl. I took a hand dyed single-ply tussah silk laceweight yarn in a beautiful sea-blue shade and knitted this into a delicate lace-patterned shawl, using the Shallow Waters pattern by the wonderful designer Mia Rinde. (I do have her permission to sell the shawl knit from her pattern).

Hundreds of tiny beads were added to the shawl as I knitted. I always use the best quality Japanese Toho glass beads on my garments.

Measurements:
Width from tip to tip – approx. 130cm
Depth from centre neck edge to centre bottom edge – approx. 65cm
Weight – approx. 60g

This item will be shipped to you both tracked and insured.

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.
