Silk Noil handwoven shawl. Silk shawls take advantage of the the breathable fabric’s natural temperature regulation, keeping you warm in winter, yet cool in summer. They are specially made using silk noil, which are the very short fibres from the inner part of the silk cocoon. When silk noil is woven, it does not slip on the shoulders. I dye my own silk as well as hand-weaving these unique and individual shawls. All the silk noil shawls are hand washable.
