Kopi af et sjal fra Herning-egnen ca. 1880. Bindesjalerne hører til i den danske strikketradition og dette sjal blev lavet i samarbejde med Herning Historieske Museum, som har flere variationer af bindesjaler i deres samling. Det originale sjal er strikket i ren uld, men vi har valg at gøre det lidt lettere.
Sjalet strikkes i retstrikning med en tråd Spinni og en tråd Silk Mohair. Blonden strikkes for sig og sys på til sidst.
