This beautiful Wool Baby Shawl is a slightly modern take on our traditional heirloom baby shawls. Knitted from super-soft, pure new Merino wool. The colour of this enormously popular baby shawl is a soft off-white ivory colour.

The Traditional Ivory Wool Baby Shawl is warm and lightweight - it is wonderfully delicate and if cared for, it will be cherished for years to come, maybe even for generations. A top-quality baby shawl made in Nottingham in the heart of England and which would make an especially thoughtful and practical gift.

Nottingham-based manufacturers specialising in lace-knitted wool have been making these special shawls for the babies of celebrities and royalty alike for generations and the highly skilled artisans have been selected by royal families as the manufacturers for the creation of receiving blankets for royal babies for up to 70 years.

Size: 122 x 122 cm (48 x 48 inches)

Origin and Sustainability

100% Merino Wool

Made in Nottingham, England.

Each of these shawls is lovingly knitted at a traditional lace-knitting factory in Nottingham, England by highly skilled, experienced artisans, where they have been innovating and designing lacy knitted patterns into classic and timeless shawls for over a century.

Use & Care

As part of the hand-finishing process these shawls are washed with gentle products suitable for sensitive skin and are ready for immediate use.

Hand wash, using pure soap flakes or a wool-approved detergent like , allow to dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not tumble-dry.

Due to the nature of our traditional hand-finished baby shawls, knitted  using finest wool yarns, please hand-wash them in water not over 30°C. 

Dry flat, away from direct sunlight and heat and never tumble-dry. 

Note that the scalloped edges will naturally relax after washing. This is normal and does not deter from the quality of the product.

For a perfect finish gently stretch out the scalloped edges, cover the shawl with an ironing cloth and press with a cool iron.

Avoid using 'regular or 'delicates' laundry detergents. Although rarely mentioned on the label, such detergents usually contain bleach, which damages wool.  Look for detergents that are specifically advertised as safe for wool, not just delicates.
