Please note, I do not keep a stock, as I offer most of my items in a choice of colours. Instead, I ask you to tell me the colour and pattern you want and then I knit it for you, so I need plenty of notice - 4-6 weeks for my larger shawls and 2-4 weeks for my smaller stoles and wraps. This way you can be sure getting exactly what you want.

Bespoke Wedding Shawl / Veil

These beautiful wedding shawls, hand-knitted in fine 1-ply Shetland lace wool, are constructed the traditional way using my granny’s method, by first knitting the four borders and then attaching them to a middle section. Very similar to my christening shawls, but with a larger centre, I also use traditional Shetland patterns in these shawls, eg the ‘Tree of Life’, the ‘Cat’s Paw’ and the ‘Bead’, as well as my own interpretations and patterns, so each shawl will be slightly different and therefore unique to you. Although these bespoke shawls weigh less than 200g and can be pulled through a wedding ring (see picture right), they are surprisingly warm.

Each wedding shawl takes nearly 200 hours to design and knit and therefore I need plenty of notice to create your very own heirloom - at least 8 weeks. These delicate fine lace wedding shawls could also be used as a christening shawl.

Angela’s Shawl

Angela asked me if I could design a triangular shawl for her wedding and this is what I came up with. Hand-knitted in Shetland lace wool, using one of my own lace patterns and design, it measures approximately 66” wide and 34” deep. It would be idea if you are getting married at a colder time of year, as it will be very warm, but not heavy or bulky. The one in the picture is ivory, the natural colour of the sheep, but it can be knitted in myriad colours.

Cost: £140

Jacqueline’s Bolero

Jacqueline asked if I could knit matching boleros for her and her bridesmaids in fine Shetland lace using the ‘Cockleshell’ pattern and here is the result. I had to modify the ‘Cockleshell’ to fit the shape of the boleros, which was no easy task! It can be hand-knitted in other colours, but the choice is more limited with the fine cobweb lace. It could of course be hand- knitted in 2-ply lace, where the colour choice is more varied.
