Syrian silk shawl

This shawl is woven from hand-spun Syrian silk that Pia Jensen bought directly from the spinner while on a visit to Syria in 2010. In Syria, weavers turn the hand-spun silk into narrow lengths of fabric and the spinner then joins them together with a delicate crocheted border. Pia sought to apply the same principle in her personal interpretation, where each of the seven shawls has its own unique combination of yarns and patterns.
