Orenburg shawl
The Orenburg region of Russia is famous for its shawls, known as Orenburg shawls/scarves or wedding ring shawls, finely knit lace shawls which have been created in the region for over 300 years. In the English-speaking world they are often called "wedding ring shawls," because, although the shawls are quite large, a shawl knit in the traditional fashion can be pulled through a wedding ring because the knitting is so fine.
