Made in
Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire
Description

This is a soft pale cream acrylic shawl, cot blanket or wall-hanging. I have fringed the edges and hand-embroidered the story of 'The Old Woman who Swallowed a Fly' in the squares. The designs are entirely from my own drawings. The spider's web is stitched in a metallic thread and the rest in stranded cotton. The shawl measures approximately 24" (61cm.) by 39" (99cm.) within the fringe. It is hand-washable in cool water.

A note from the seller

I will endeavour to post within 24 hours, but items may still take a long time to reach you due to the pressure under which the Post Office is working. Unfortunately I will no longer be able to send items to Northern Ireland. Actual colours may vary. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently. Therefore I cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product.

Useful Information

You can cancel the order and get a refund from the maker within 14 days of receipt, provided the item has not been used. Faulty items can be returned within six months of payment being made.

Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; items which deteriorate quickly (e.g. food), personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken; digital items.

Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

I have to tell this story, in exactly the same words, whenever I put my grandson to bed. My grandmother used to do the same for me. An older grandson insists the shawl isn't finished, as I haven't included a coffin to indicate that the 'poor old woman is dead, of course'!

  • My special order t-shirts arrived quickly and are perfect for my 2 year old great nephew. I wanted something practical and individual and these tees fit the bill. The t-shirts are great quality and the hand stitching beautiful. Thank you x
