A deep dark grey colour and a complex geometric pattern — that is the grey gossamer shawl “Anthracite Lace”. Sound knitting, an impressive size of 150×150 cm and a rare ornament reveal the high class of the item and the skill of the craftswoman who knitted it.
The gossamer shawl is 80 per cent natural down — a raw material the Orenburg region is rich in. The rest is viscose silk: it gives the down yarn a slight sheen and makes the fabric stronger. The photo shows how softly the openwork fabric drapes and how a pointed border runs along the edge.
This is a voluminous, soft and very practical item. The gossamer shawl is worn on the head, as in the photo — it frames the face beautifully — or thrown over the shoulders on top of a dark dress and coat. The dark shade shows dirt less and combines easily with a winter wardrobe.
The model is among the store's bestsellers. To keep the pattern crisp, wash the gossamer shawl by hand in cool water and dry it spread out.
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.
