Product Details

Najran is located in the southwest corner of what is Saudi Arabia now, near the border of Yemen, and was a major city on the incense route. It was a hub for commerce in multiple directions, and served as a distribution center not only for incense, but also spices and textiles. In fact, it was a center of fabric production in the ancient world. This rectangular stole is knit end to end in wide stripes, with a fine stripe between them. The edging is picked up and knitted in the round, in a mosaic chevron stripe pattern, like waves. The stripe and border designs are taken from traditional Saudi textiles, and are a nod to the name of the city, which can be translated to thirsty.
