A stunning handwoven merino lambswool pink and beige shawl which will add a unique and luxury feel to any outfit. Handwoven by weaver Emma Baker with skill and care on a large Louet floor loom. Woven with beige, pink and burgundy merino lambswool it offers beautiful softness keeping you cozy and comfortable in all seasons. The design is a deflected doubleweave which creates a lightweight and airy fabric with a superior warmth
The fabric for this shawl was woven on a Louet floor loom using an 8 shaft deflected doubleweave design creating a reversible pattern with each side of the shawl looking distinctively different. The yarn used was merino lambswool in beige, white, pink and brown which is woven in the spinning oils. Once woven the fabric is washed to remove the spinning oils causing the fabric to full and soften. Depending on whether the area of fabric has a tabby design or has longer warp or weft floats differential shrinkage occurs leading to the softening of the edges of the pattern.
