SKY, WOOL BLEND SHAWL - RIVE GAUCHE

An ethnic-influenced design that combines geometric and abstract shapes realized in pastel shades of sky blue and water green. The motif is artfully placed, with woven together friezes encircling it.

Easy to wear over jeans/sports outfits for a casual look, or as a shawl over a mid-season dress for a more classic look. All shades of green and blue pair very well with this scarf, like navy, dark green, or khaki. Feel free to use it as a throw inside!

To wash a primarily wool scarf, we recommend hand washing. Do not let your scarf soak for too long, put it in a towel to soak up excess water but do not wring it, then lay it flat to dry. Iron on high heat with steam to restore all the fluffiness and softness of the scarf’s natural materials. While you may not put it in the dryer, you may take it in for dry cleaning.

The shaped weaving technique, known as the Jacquard method, used to make this scarf involves the interlacing of warp and weft threads according to a specific pattern. To do this, the weaving workshop of La Fabrique d'écharpe has its own Jacquard looms. The Jacquard loom is a weaving loom developed by Lyon-native Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801, the first programmable mechanical system with punched cards to produce patterns by interweaving colored threads. Thanks to the know-how passed down from generation to generation in our family since 1880, we now have electronic Jacquard looms with digital controls that guarantee a perfect quality for our fabrics while respecting the most authentic Lyon traditions.
