Authenticity guaranteed — folk art register item, appellation of origin

White gossamer shawl “Mother Blizzard” is hand-knitted from goat down with viscose silk. The shawl measures 120×120 cm, and the name recalls the fairy-tale mistress of snow who shakes out feather beds and covers the earth with a white blanket.

In the photo the gossamer shawl is folded into a triangle and thrown over the shoulders on top of a red dress, with the ends falling freely down the sides. You can see openwork diamonds spreading across the fabric, and the border along the edge is knitted with large sharp points.

“Mother Blizzard” can be worn on the shoulders, on the head or around the neck — in every option the white down looks festive and soft. The gossamer shawl goes with both a winter coat and a festive dress, and it is also a touching gift for a mother, grandmother or daughter.

Wash the gossamer shawl by hand in cool water without rubbing and dry it spread out on a horizontal surface — this way the openwork and the points of the border will keep their shape.

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.
