Perfect for WEDDINGS and CHRISTENINGS

Exquisite super fine merino wool delicate lace stole. Add an heirloom shawl as part of your wedding outfit. 

What better way to show it off but to then use it for the Christening's to come.
Designed and hand knitted by Sue using the beautiful Estonian Lace Butterfly motif.

One of a kind garment in so many ways:

• The superfine Merino lace yarn was purchased direct from the farmer in New South Wales.
• Most of the processing was performed in Victoria. The yarn was spun in China due to no Australian facilities to spin 2/60 yarn.
• Sue used the Estonian Lace Butterfly motif to design and then hand knit the shawl.
• Due to the delicate yarn the shawl drapes superbly and feels exquisitely soft.

The Butterfly motif was created by the Estonian knitters of Haapsula whose shawls/stoles were worn by the Russian aristocracy.

Measurements for the shawl:

Width - approximately 55 cm
Length - approximately 125 cm
47gm's in weight

Care:
Hand washing is EASY and much quicker than a washing machine.

1. Prepare a tub of cold water and mix in a mild soap product. Preferably a pH neutral detergent (Tantech's felted wool wash is best)
2. Examine for dirty spots and wash these areas first. An extremely gentle finger rub will remove most spots and cause no harm to the garment.
3. Immerse the shawl and very gently squeeze the suds through.

Very gently squeeze out as much water as possible.
RINSE, very gently squeeze and lay flat to dry.
SHAPE the shawl while still damp (a spare bed is ideal for drying the shawl).
