A traditional Danish triangular shawl, with knitted lace edging, that is also large enough to be used as a full wrap. This shawl style has been knitted for hundreds of years by Danish women and worn by peasant women and girls working at home or in the fields. The design keeps bodies warm while allowing hands the freedom of movement for various tasks in agrarian life. The shawl is traditionally knitted with three stripes of a contrast color at the base and without the knitted lace. This can be seen in the Outlander series.

This piece is reversible and can be seen in the last two photos.

The naturally stretchy American wool blend is shorn, spun and dyed in the United States. This shawl can stretch well beyond the listed figures and will always be able to spring back to shape provided it's properly cared for.

Mohair, a breed of goat originating from Anatolia, adds softness and shine to the yarn. For more information on mohair please see this link from The Mohair Council of America.

As with all of our 100% natural yarns, this wool is both beautiful and a true technical wonder in that it performs well under adverse weather conditions. Suitable for any adventurer. Our products are made with the highest quality material that can be passed down through families.
