Red Clergy Stole - Shot Cottons

Shot cotton fabrics have one color thread for the warp and another color thread for the weft. This creates a beautiful effect. All of the shot cottons in this stole have red as one of the colors in the weave. There are 8 different shot cottons and 4 solid color fabrics in this stole.

Red on Red Clergy Stole

This printed red on red stole is a subtle combination of two medium reds. The background is slightly darker. The lighter red looks like it was painted on with a paintbrush. From a distance, this stole looks like a solid red, but up close it has some visual texture, some depth. 

A nice stole for ordination or Pentecost. See more here.

Modern Prism Stole

The Prism stole has bright clear colors on a white background, giving it a light and airy modern look. 

The fabric is a soft cotton. The back of the stole is white. I appreciate your feedback about stole colors and styles. See more here.

Green Striped Stole

This green stole, made for Ordinary Time, consists of shot cottons, solid color fabrics and a variety of green striped fabric. (Shot cottons have one color weft, and another color warp.) Greens include: grass, olive, lime, cucumber and celery. All these greens play well together, just like in nature.

Painterly Blue Stole

This blue stole looks like an abstract painting, but it's printed cotton fabric. Colors include: aqua, turquoise, royal blue, cobalt blue, a little green and purple, and a smidgen of chartreuse. Nice effect, like a soothing drink of cool water. See this stole here. 

Wheat Clergy Stole

This new clergy stole has nice images of wheat in shades of beige, brown and white. It brings to mind the references to wheat and tares or wheat and chaff in Matthew. Subtle, dignified print.

I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

New African Fabric Clergy Stoles

Here are three recent additions to Shadrach's, Fine Handmade Clergy Stoles on Etsy. 

These stoles were made using fabrics from all over Africa: wax prints, batiks, and solids. I collected the fabrics in New York City's garment district in recent years. Vendors help me find the best examples.
