I love this shawl so much! It's one of my most favorite pieces!!

The shawl measures at 17" wide and 6 ft 6" with fringe-
6 ft 6" without fringe.

The warp is HABU stainless steel/silk yarn- it's very thin, but very strong. It perfectly holds the art yarn.

The weft is 5 different handspun art yarns, utilizing 3 different spinning techiniques- chain ply, singles and corespun. All the yarns have a black alpaca base with pops of rainbow bits and bobs of color and lots of sparkle. I wove very lightly, so there's lots of space within the weft. As I wove, I added tufts of sari silk waste, tangles of sari silk threads and banana silk threads, and lengths of batik cotton and sari silk ribbon.

This shawl is very soft and has amazing drape. It will certainly be the statement piece of your season. It will look amazing with a gray or black coat, or wrapped around your shoulders with a tshirt and jeans.
