Blue and White Cotton

This tallit, made of 100% Egyptian cotton, represents a new style for me. I typically applique stripes onto a solid color fabric, but in this fabric the stripes are woven in so that the blue and white show on both sides. The soft weaving gives the shawl a great drape, making it very comfortable to wear. I embroidered the full tallit blessing by hand onto a strip of matching blue dupioni silk and finished the atarah with the same natural Osnaburg cotton that I used for the corners. I am also making a co-ordinating zippered bag.

Size: 18 1/2 x 75 inches, excluding the fringe.

This tallit is now sold, but I have more of the fabric and will make another one.
