Marsala, Hand Embroidered Muffler/Shawl

 
This is a double layer, shawl, muffler, scarf or stole with hand embroidered floral pattern on hand woven pure soft, wool material. It can also be used as a sofa throw as it is double layered. I bought this shawl with unfinished ends from a fair price shop dedicated to rural weavers of India. I hand rolled and hand knotted the fringes on both short ends of this shawl to make colorful fringes. Fringes not only add a great detail to this beautiful shawl but also prevent loose threads from coming out from edges . A riot of colors has been used in this stole so that it can be worn with almost any outfit.

Process of Creation =
1. Two pieces of soft, pure wool fabric are taken. Each piece of fabric is dual colored, hand woven is light yet warm.
2. Both pieces are hand stitched on long ends to make double layered stole.
3. Shawl is then hand embroidered with blue-red side being the front side of the shawl.
5. Then I took loose threads on short ends of the stole and hand rolled and knotted them.

Exact Size = 53 cm x 170 cm OR 22 inch x 68 inch , tassels on both short ends extra

This shawl is not just a textile but a work of art. Be prepared to get lots of admiring looks and compliments !
