In theory, you could split the large 140cm into 2 halves but it will result in the design being cut in half.
The triangles on the other hand have a complete, coherent design.

Great point! I feel like since the shawl is so big and has to be folded so many times to be worn, so much of the design is lost anyway! That and I just get so hot wearing the shawls, even on a cold day.

Oops meant 140cm. I would definitely want the long side to be hand stitched to match the shorter sides but didn't know if H would be willing to do it.

You could ask, but I'm not optimistic that they would do it....I guess if you went in with a horribly damaged shawl in one corner they might be willing to make what they'd consider a repair but.....:shrugs:

I’m pretty sure it’s half the size of a 140cm (didn’t measure) but the long side will need to be finished somehow. I’m not sure I’d be happy with two hand finished sides and a machine stitched long side. Unless of course you have access to one of the H silk specialists who hand finishes the hems (French name is escaping me ATM) :P

Rouloteuse was the word used in the Tour of the artists (Expo des Metiers?)

There are tutorials online:

Thanks! I'll let this idea marinate for a bit and do more research. I am very tempted though. The alternative is to let the shawls sit in their boxes or sell them.

NTM Au Fil du Carré!! :love: Had to take the rescue boat from Ban Island to get it but could not resist CW 07 Blanc/Ocre/Vieux Rose and a shawl that combines so many of Annie Faivres‘ designs! ❤️

Pondered a bit, and finally bought this. Will be fun to try this size, and I just find this design so funny. The colors are right up my alley, too. The colors are brighter (fairly true, as shown here) when compared to the H.com pics. I hope this size belongs on this thread!
