Pale Tan and Cream Traditional Welsh Shoulder Shawl 11583

Subtle colours traditional Welsh Shoulder Shawl .

Part of Welsh costume, the shoulder shawl was  origianlly worn by both men and women for extra warmth - folded over the shoulders and fastened by a thorn from the hedgrow  ( or if you could afford it a specially made pin )

Not perfect - seen a life of washing and wering and washing again - but a lovely traditional Welsh textile.
