Deep purple Belgium wool boucle woven with a metallic thread is sewn on the front of this luscious purple silk dupioni stole. It reminds me of the starry night that the wise men and shepard experienced on their journey to Bethlehem. On this particular stole, I made the reverse the same rich deep purple with no adornment, which would be perfect for Lent.
