Downy Shawls

Downy shawls were especially popular in the 40's, and also 50's of last century. And until the beginning of the twenty-first century, their popularity was returning all the time, as everything in fashion goes around in circles. But now the downy shawls are unfairly forgotten. Of course, sometimes they slip on the fashion podiums, but on the streets of cities they are not very often met. And this is very insulting, since the downy shawl is not only a bright, stylish and original addition to any image, but also a part of the historical heritage of the Slavic peoples. In addition, the girl in the feather shawl looks incredibly tender and feminine, but are not these qualities that many seek to emphasize in themselves? So let's take a closer look at all the merits of downy shawls, as well as a bit of their history, the art of their choice, and socks options.

A feather shawl is everything you wanted to know about him

History. Of course, downy shawls are made in many countries of the world, but more than others are valued handkerchiefs of Orenburg production. And all because they are the most subtle and gentle in the whole world. Made goofy downy shawls on the filament-based. And the fluff of Orenburg goats is even thinner than mohair. A real Orenburg downy shawl can climb through the ring. In addition, since handkerchiefs in Orenburg have been making for decades, the art of their manufacture has been mastered, ideally, so that the quality is simply excellent.

Species. Strictly speaking, before you talk about how to choose a feather shawl, you need to decide what kind of shawl you personally would like to acquire. After all, among these scarves there are a variety of interesting models, so to say, for every taste. Downy can be not only handkerchiefs, but also stoles, which are very comfortable to wear, just throwing on the shoulders. Of course, the sizes vary: from very small, to fairly large models, in which you can almost be wrapped up with your head. In addition, handkerchiefs differ according to the method of knitting. There are models with tight knitting, and there are open-work feather shawls decorated with many elegant patterns, from which it is simply impossible to take away an admiring glance. Also there is a downy scarf "spiderweb", which is called as it is not difficult to guess, because its pattern is incredibly thin. Naturally, this kind of handkerchief to a greater extent is still an ornament of the image, rather than a warming part of it.

How to choose a downy shawl?

As already mentioned, a real downy shawl can climb through the ring. But, of course, if you choose a tight and warm handkerchief, then it can not withstand such a test, even if it's incredibly high-quality. Therefore, there is a way to verify the quality of downy shawls far more accurate. Take in the fingers a few hairs (it's hairs of fluff, and not the warp thread), and hold the handkerchief on the weight, holding it with only the hairs. It is desirable, by the way, to keep it approximately in the center. If the hairs of the fluff remained in your hands, and the scarf fell, then it is substandard and soon all the fluff from it will simply come out. A real, high-quality handkerchief is a small test that will easily withstand. In addition, it is worth noting that if you want to buy a real Orenburg shawl, do it in the official shops of the factory, because it's too easy to get a fake instead.
