Crail Shawl

The Crail stitch has a story behind it, inspired by the fishing nets and lobster pots of the Scottish coast, Bill Baber's signature basket weave brings beautiful texture and character to everything it touches. In this elegant cape-shaped shawl, it's nothing short of outstanding.

Crafted from a beautifully considered blend of Donegal merino wool, linen and cotton, the Crail Shawl strikes a perfect balance between warmth and lightness. The super soft merino wool gives it all the character and coziness of a wool piece, while the lightweight linen and cotton keep it breathable and versatile enough to wear across every season — throw it over a summer dress or layer it up for an autumn evening walk.

The classic cape shape sits beautifully on the shoulders, draping effortlessly over any outfit and adding an instant touch of Scottish elegance. In a warm, natural Oat colorway it works with virtually everything in your wardrobe.

Handmade in Edinburgh by a small family business with over four decades of Scottish craft behind them. Gentle hand wash in cool water or dry clean to keep it looking its best.

A wonderfully versatile gift for any woman who appreciates genuine Scottish craft, and a piece that will earn its place in your wardrobe every single day.
