The snow-white handmade gossamer shawl “White Butterflies” is fairly large yet knitted very neatly and evenly. Its size is 120×120 cm, and the composition is goat down with viscose silk, with 80% down in the item.
The openwork of the central part is created by pattern elements in the form of butterflies or bows scattered across the shawl-knit fabric. The photo shows these motifs as well as rows of openwork “chevrons” near the edge. The composition is completed by an openwork border with sparse points.
The gossamer shawl is fairly dense, so it is warmer than many openwork models. Down makes it light and soft, and with wear it only gets fluffier. At first the gossamer shawl may leave fibres on clothes — this is normal for natural down.
This is a beautiful accessory for the cold season: the gossamer shawl will keep you warm and beautifully complement your look. Wash it by hand in cool water and dry it laid out on a towel.
Why this item is special
01
Intricate openwork pattern
The ornament is knitted by hand and requires great precision in every row.
02
About two months of work
From preparing the down to the last stitch, the item goes through a long manual process.
03
Hand-knitted on needles
The shawl is knitted without machines — by the craftswoman's hands.
04
Living individuality
Pattern details and density may vary slightly — a natural sign of handwork.
Material and details
The item is made of unique goat down and a strong base thread — cotton or viscose silk, depending on the item. The base thread helps the shawl keep its shape, stay light and last longer.
