I've tried reverse lookup and it just keeps sending me to Pinterest, so pardon the post.
Does anyone know what this is called and/or the shape? Like, is this one long rectangle, a ruana, etc.? I really like it but can't seem to find one that's this big. I either want to buy it or possibly make it, but I can't figure out what the shape is.
It’s a shawl and brooch. It’s basically just a rectangular piece of cloth with a pin holding it together. If you wanted a slightly fancier version, you could try finding a serape/ruana instead. That’s the same rectangular piece of cloth, except it has a slit cut from one edge to the center. So it can drape over your shoulders instead of wrapping around them. Sort of like a poncho, except the cut goes all the way to the edge of the fabric instead of just being a neck hole.
And you gave pictures. Thank you so much. ❤️
Hipster plaid shirt final form
Sure, I guess. They originally got popular in Scotland and the americas for different reasons; Scotland because wearing a woolen blanket is nice and warm even when it’s wet and cold. The slit allows you to throw one side over your opposite shoulder, turning it into a sort of scarf. Or if you need it out of the way, throwing both sides over your shoulders quickly turns it into a cape. You could use a brooch to keep it in place if it’s windy, but that’s largely optional:
They were popular in parts of the americas for the exact opposite reason: Made out of thinner material, they’re great for keeping the sun and dust off of you. They’re basically a poncho, and after a long day of cattle driving or working on your farm, you can roll it up and use it as a pillow for your bedroll, or as a blanket.
Also, Gandalf wears one. No, really. That’s not just long sleeves on his robe, it’s a ruana. So apparently they’re good at making you look like a wizard.
Didn't have anything to add, just that this was a nice read.
I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I'll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they're not really the style I'd want to go wear out and about.
That is a ruana cloak
Did you actually read the comment at all, or did you only look at the picture?
I skimmed it the first time.I read it this time. My bad
