One of a kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground cloth is woven in a soft plaid structure that holds light differently across its surface- areas of dense bouclé cloud against a quieter plain weave, so the fabric reads almost like weather moving across a hillside. The yarns are a mix of raw silk, eri silk, my own Caledonia Aran (a blend of Shetland lambswool, Ryeland, and alpaca, spun from named Highland fleeces), and a British wool bouclé. The hand is substantial but soft, with enough drape to settle over the shoulders rather than sit stiffly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery is worked in the Ayrshire whitework tradition: a style developed in west-central Scotland in the early nineteenth century, originally on fine cotton for christening gowns and bridal veils. Here the motifs are translated into a single-flock Heatherlea Black Cheviot laceweight wool, which gives the florals a softer, more grounded quality than the original cotton work. Scalloped lace edging finishes the shawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 6 foot wide wingspan- please get in touch before purchase to confirm sizing and delivery for a specific wedding date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highland Magic Fibre Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53973928477005,"sku":null,"price":585.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/4179\/0029\/files\/447308A7-2A7E-4C68-9B15-79E6090B5D82.jpg?v=1779648385","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandmagicfibrearts.com\/products\/bridal-shawl-ayrshire-whitework-on-handwoven-highland-cloth","provider":"Highland Magic Fibre Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
