The regal size — 200×200 cm — immediately explains the name of the warm shawl “Catherine the Great”. It is an original work by an Orenburg craftswoman that can serve both as outerwear and as a warm blanket.
The shawl is hand-knitted from goat down with cotton thread. The photo shows how it covers the figure almost to the floor: openwork stripes and diamonds run across the grey fluffy fabric, and the wide patterned border ends in sharp points. The natural grey colour with a warm tone makes the shawl calm and noble.
In this shawl you can go outside instead of a coat on a cool day, wrap yourself in it on the veranda or use it as a cover at home on a cold evening. The large size lets you fold it in different ways: into a triangle over the shoulders, in half over the back or loosely, like a cape.
The model is among the store's bestsellers and belongs to the section of items of special artistic value from the state register of folk arts and crafts. Wash it by hand in cool water and dry it on a horizontal surface.
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.
