<p>[QUOTE="pentiques, post: 3310, member: 171"]Nice shawl. Machine made definitely wool. I buy and sell paisleys. I find the striped paisleys are harder to sell than the shawls with center fields. Black fields sell well but other colors sell better. Very large paisleys were popular in mid 1800s when the ladies were wearing dresses with hoops and bustles. Large shawls were needed to get around the big hoops. There are also paisleys that have double fields. The history is very interesting. The original made in the middle east were pieced together, they were hand woven in small pieces and sewn together by hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
