The name of the shawl “Boundless Steppe” speaks for itself: it is a generous 130×130 cm item that you can wrap yourself in completely. It was hand-knitted from goat down with cotton thread, and the result is a warm, cosy piece without which winter is hard to imagine.
The photo shows how the shawl is made: a dense fluffy fabric in the centre and a wide openwork border with a geometric pattern of diamonds and zigzags, edged with small points. The natural grey colour with a warm tone makes it practical for every day.
It can be worn in different ways. Throw the shawl over your shoulders under outerwear, tie it over your head instead of a hat, or simply wrap yourself in it at the office or at home. The shawl is practical and durable: it does not pill or wear thin, and over the years it only becomes fluffier while keeping the main thing — warmth and beauty.
The model belongs to the section of items of special artistic value included in the state register of folk arts and crafts. Wash it by hand in cool water and dry it on a horizontal surface so the fabric keeps its 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.
