The Heirloom Poinsettia Shawl OOAK

Description

This is something really special for a very special occasion. In fact it is so special and unique that it should be wrapped up safely in a drawer to be lovingly taken out and stroked now and again until that one day when this shawl will make a special day even better - from an anniversary to a ball to a wedding... as long as it's a special day :-)

The main part of the shawl has been made from thick velvety viscose chenille that will keep you warm even in a cold church on Christmas Eve.

The butterfly and the fifteen flowers have been painstakingly needle felted from 100% merino wool. I have then used special beading thread in a matching green, Indian green luster beads and Japanese seed beads to attach them to the shrug.

The edging and fringe have been crocheted is my own design. I was going to use an Edwardian edging design but it went the wrong way round so I had to make my own pattern.

Note: This is a handmade, unique, one of a kind shawl. It's not something you find in a high street shop. The yarn and the felted wool are both of very good quality and the shawl will last a long time if you look after it.

Wash in hand warm water with a special wool washing powder/liquid and dry flat.
