Fancy Shawls are the Perfect Customizable Accessories

With homecoming dances just around the corner, finding pre-made shawls and wraps that match the color of your dress can be quite difficult. Making your own, such as this Scarlet Ribbons Shawl, not only gives you control of the color, it allows you to add texture to your outfit. Having many colors and textures of yarn to choose from means you can have a shawl that fits any occasion.

Shawls to Keep You Warm Through a Winter Formal

If you are planning farther ahead for dances throughout winter, then a warmer shawl is exactly what you need. A thicker shawl combines all the beautiful elements of a lighter weight shawl with the added benefit of keeping you warm no matter how frightful the weather becomes. This Striped Hairpin Shawl will keep you cozy, as well as add some color to your outfit. If this shawl were made with blue, white, and silver, it would fit into any winter party you might attend.
