Spotlight on the Celtic Stole
The Celtic Stole is one of the most elegant pieces we knit. A large flowing shape, wrapped up over your shoulders like a large pashmina or draped like a shawl. We knit them in Merino Wool & Linen and so each one is reversible so you can wear it two ways either exposing the subtle hint of the Linen & Merino side or the full character of the Merino only. Trimmed in a bold stripe of Linen to highlight the Celtic Knot motif, its a really stand out garment.
A variation on the poncho shape. Straight sided but open at the front so you can pin closed with jewellery like a cardigan or wrap around your shoulders like a shawl.
Wool and linen mix and fully reversible so you really have two garments in one! The effect is a warmer weight that we usually work with, lots of bounce and life in the fabric so autumn rather than deep winter!
If you are feeling particularly creative you can have a lot of fun with the strong geometric shapes and bold cut of the Stole. We like them best as shown pinned over but everyone who tries one on has their own take on how best to wear it.
The Celtic Stole is certainly very popular and has been a long standing part of our collection. We love to keep a collection of colours at the shop for you to try on. Why not pair the stole with one of our Skaramanda brooches, hand made here in Scotland. We cant live without them. Lightweight and each one unique, you’ll wonder how you coped before you found them.
