It is hard to take your eyes off the white down gossamer shawl “Seven-Petal Flower”. It stands out for a rare pattern: the central part is decorated with large flowers of eight symmetrical petals enclosed in openwork diamonds.
The item measures 130 by 130 cm. The centre of the gossamer shawl is denser, while the border, on the contrary, is more openwork: a very practical solution that helps retain warmth better. The photo shows how thin and airy the fabric is, with light points along the edge.
The colour of the gossamer shawl matches the colour of natural white goat down. Composition: goat down with viscose silk, proven over the years. The gossamer shawl is hand-knitted and is one of the items of special artistic value from the state register of folk arts and crafts.
Folded diagonally, the shawl makes a very warm and beautiful kerchief. Unfolded, it lies on the shoulders as a light openwork cape. It is best to wash the gossamer shawl by hand in cool water and dry it spread out on a towel.
