Wraps & Shawls
Faroese Style
Sequined Shawl $295 each
Lace knitting is a traditional handcraft
of peoples of the Faroe islands. The most
distinguishing characteristic of Faroese lace shawls
is the center back gusset shaping. Each shawl
consists of two triangular side panels, a
trapezoid-shaped back gusset, an edge treatment, and
usually shoulder shaping. The shoulder shaping
allows these shawls to drape over the shoulders and
remain in place as the wearer moves, even if the
shawl is not pinned in place.
Instead of a more familiar triangular, rectangular or circular shape, Faroese shawls are shaped like butterfly wings. Some have very long ends so they can be tied around the wearer's waist for extra warmth.
This particular shawl is hand-knitted from Australian merino that has been handspun with sequins in the yarn.
