Description
This shawl was hand woven by Mrs. Nelson (first name unknown) around 1900. The fiber is handspun wool arranged in bundles which are whip-stitched together. It has fringe on all three sides. The shawl was collected by Frances Goodrich and eventually was transferred to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild. A note on the piece identifies it as a "breakfast shawl."
