Stoles are a sign of one being ordained in the Catholic Church. So it’s only fit­ting for a new priest to receive a spe­cial hand-embroi­dered stole for his ordination.

This stole was com­mis­sioned for an ordi­na­tion gift in Scotland.

It’s made with silk wool tex­tile and inter­lined with hair canvas. 

The embroi­dery was cre­at­ed by hand from old tra­di­tion­al eth­nic (Ukrain­ian) pat­terns. As you can see below, we test­ed dif­fer­ent col­ors and designs before we decid­ed on a final design.
