This shawl is handmade by myself. I have been making these traditional Estonian shawls for over 15 years now, in other words I have made and sold over 700 of these, all around the world, in different unique patters, colours and wool. These shawls originate from a small town called Haapsalu in Estonia where they have been knitted by the local ladies for over 2 hundred years, which are to this day commonly worn by Estonians and and by people around the world, they are massively sold in Estonian souvenir shops to hundreds of holiday makers every year.

Material - 100% Cashmere made in Scotland by Todd & Duncan Colour is Blue Pattern - Anchor Chain by Aasa Jõelaid Shawl is 103 grams in weight and is so fine that it can fit through a wedding ring, which in Estonia proves the authenticity of the shawl. The dimensions of this shawl are 170cm x 75cm *Please note that the shawl is made to order* Washing instructions: The shawl is best washed by hand in lukewarm water, without handling it too rough and never twisted or rubbed, its best to squeeze gently. No special washing liquids are required to cleanse. Products such as mild soaps and Fairy washing liquid can be used. After washing, to keep the shawl in its good original condition I advise to let it dry over a bed, with pins, pin the pointed edges onto the bed so that the shawl lays stretched out, this will preserve the lacy form. Do not iron! You are more than welcome to message me if you have any concerns or questions. Thank you very much for viewing.

Thanks to Lark and Laritza over on KBTH, I have my copy of Haapsalu Sall by Siiri Reimann and Aime Edasi. This is a book of patterns used in Estonian stoles and shawls. It is almost all in Estonian, but that doesn’t matter – the key to the chart symbols is in English, and the charts and photos speak for themselves. It is a large hardback – about 10 ins x 14 ins – and is both a coffee table book and a workbook. Unlike Nancy Bish’s book on Estonian lace, this is not a project book. It is to Estonian lace what Sharon Miller is to Shetland lace – a stitch dictionary with basic instructions on how to use the stitch patterns to make traditional stoles – the word ‘sall’ evidently refers to stoles while ‘ratt’ is the word for a square shawl. After a brief introduction from the authors (translated into English), the book starts with a bit about the history of the town and the knitting. There are plenty of pictures, and you can work out the gist of what is being said without needing the words! There is then a section showing the techniques needed, again...
