This Way to Narnia - Classic Deacon Stole
This Way to Narnia - Classic Deacon Stole
This stole is named for one of my favorite moments in The Chronicles of Narnia series — the moment Lucy walks through the wardrobe and finds herself brushing away tree branches as she steps into the magical world of Narnia. This stole evokes the beauty and delight of the forest, a place of mystery and adventure, welcome and belonging.
This Way to Narnia is made with soft-white Snow Kona Cotton, with pine branches meticulously hand embroidered in six shades of embroidery thread. It is finished with gorgeous Forest Green Kona Cotton for the back lining fabric.
The Classic Deacon Stole is a beautifully cut stole that is 3” wide at the top and has ends that taper slightly to 4” wide. It sits smoothly on the shoulder and conforms easily to any shoulder size.
(Kindly note: I do not have a physical This-Way-to-Narnia Classic Deacon Stole to show yet, but please refer to the drawing to see what the design would look like. This is a re-imagined design based on the Priest Stole version of the same design.)
