<p>For the shawl (<span class="caps">CHAL</span> in Spanish) we start with fine rayon thread and create a soft, loose weave that sits gently around your shoulders. We add pin stripe accents running the length of the chal to complement its primary color. To finish, we knot the loose ends of the weave into soft tassels. With over twelve square feet of woven fabric, the chal is a versatile and fun accessory.</p>
