The Haapsalu Shawl is a fine knitted shawl made by hand.

I used cashmere blend yarn for this shawl. It makes this shawl elegant and suitable to wear it daily.
Shawl is soft and silky, very elegant and romantic.
The shawl is so fine it would slide through a wedding ring.

It may also be the perfect addition to a romantic or a minimal bridal look for a woman longing to cherish the scarf forever.

The Haapsalu Scarf is a truly exquisite royal item to behold.

The tradition started when members of the Russian aristocracy ? including the royal Romanov family ? visited the famous healing mud baths in Haapsalu at the start of the 19th century.
The women of Haapsalu knitted square scarves to keep warm in winter so they found that they had buyers for their handcraft.

Haapsalu Shawl - about 200 years old Estonian lace tradition.
The Haapsalu lace is known by many nupps that give the lace dignity and also proofs that lace is hand knitted.
Haapsalu shawl consists of three parts - a center section, a border and an edge which is knitted separately and sewn to te main part.

This shawl has hundreds of authentic Estonian nupps and the edge lace of the shawl is knitted separately and later sewn on.
