How to Choose the Size of an Orenburg Down Shawl

We know that the variety of goat-down products has long been not limited to shawls; there is a huge number of accessories and even down clothing, for practically every occasion. But in this article we would like to talk specifically about classic down shawls and warm shawls.

 

First of all, the variety of ways to use your classic down item depends on its size. Patterns and density play a supporting role here, but size is still fundamental. The range of the Shalnoy Orenburg online store offers a wide size range from 100 cm to 2 metres — truly huge down shawls. Below we briefly explain how best to use particular items.

100–110 cm

 

These are the most compact items in the standard size range. Such down shawls and warm shawls can serve as headwear or replace a scarf, and down shawls have stronger thermal properties; moreover, you can create an original look. Some shawls may be slightly prickly at first, but this is not critical; in our article we describe in detail how to get rid of prickliness. If you are considering an Orenburg down shawl as headwear or a scarf, this size is your choice. White shawls are also well suited for wedding traditions and games that are still popular today. Because of their size, such items are also inexpensive and make a good corporate gift.

120–130 cm

 

The most common size, popular with craftswomen and, so to speak, the universal size of a down item. The choice here is huge, from the same headwear or a scarf folded in several layers and naturally protecting from the cold, to a stylish wrap that will look especially good with a bold and ornate pattern. Like openwork gossamer shawls, down shawls will go perfectly with your wardrobe; the main thing is to choose the right colour.

140–150 cm

 

These are royally large items. They usually cost somewhat more, and it is not easy to adapt them as headwear or a scarf. But a royally beautiful wrap is another matter. Or a very warm and very stylish blanket that few people have. Believe us, your guests will be pleasantly surprised, and pampering yourself on winter evenings is wonderful. Items in the 160–180 cm range are rarer, and we will include them here as well. In addition, such handmade shawls are rather one-of-a-kind items and make a prestigious and original gift that you will surely want to give to a very close or very respected person.

200 cm

 

A blanket, simply a blanket. That is how items of this size are most often classified. They are complex to make, knitted long and painstakingly, and most often only a few are produced a year. The price of blankets is usually the highest, but they are also the most luxurious items, which you can show off to guests or present to your dearest person. Most often blankets consist of several parts; another undoubted advantage is the painstaking removal of guard hair, so prickliness is practically never found in blankets.

Conclusion

Orenburg down shawls in the classic sense are as versatile in use as the more modern items produced under this brand. The most important thing is to choose the right size and decide on the purpose of buying a particular item. Thanks to the wide choice, everyone can find a suitable Orenburg shawl, and our task is to help you navigate the variety of the range.
