Elizabeth Shawl – Handspun & Hand Knitted Adelaide Hills Wool
A beautiful celebration of traditional craft, the Elizabeth Shawl has been entirely hand spun and hand knitted by Gaye in the Adelaide Hills, using locally sourced wool.
Worked from the top down in a graceful triangular shape, the shawl features an intricate combination of traditional Shetland lace stitch patterns and motifs, brought together with a fresh, contemporary sensibility. The delicate openwork creates wonderful texture and movement, while the soft natural cream wool gives the piece a timeless, understated elegance.
Generously shaped, the Elizabeth Shawl drapes beautifully around the shoulders and can be worn loosely as a wrap, styled over a dress or blouse, or layered for warmth on cooler days. Its long tapered points and detailed lace construction make it just as striking from the back as it is from the front.
From the preparation and spinning of the wool through to every carefully knitted stitch, this is a truly handmade piece reflecting many hours of skill, patience and craftsmanship.
