This is truly a statement piece and another heirloom quality stole. Not only does this make a dramatic statement with the red and black variegated yarn, but there is great attention to detail throughout. Whoever acquires this piece will enjoy its beauty, uniqueness, and sophistication for many years to come, as it was purely a labor of love to make. This piece is knit and crocheted with 100% anti-pilling acrylic yarn in a zig-zag pattern. Due to the nature of the yarn, the colors tend to pool in the most amazing ways, which emphasizes the bold look. There is a crocheted collar on one long side, which is enhanced by delicate picot edging, and a line of tassels on the other side, 22 in all. There are many ways to wear this item as the pictures attest: draped down the shoulders and pinned in the middle with a dark broach, wrapped around the neck, or thrown over one shoulder. With a wingspan of more than nine feet, this is definitely long, and the softness of the yarn will keep you warm and comforted throughout the cold seasons. Hand wash cold with non-abrasive detergent only. Do not bleach. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry. Length=110"; Width (without Tassels)=16"; Width (with Tassels)=22"
