A GIFT OF A ROYAL PRINCE 27/04/2018 12:23:00 Nottingham Lace Knitted Royal Baby Shawl Our warmest and sincere congratulations to TRH the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the safe arrival of Prince Louis Arthur Charles on Monday 23rd April 2018. All the staff here at G.H.Hurt & Son were delighted to see the Royal couple emerge from St Mary’s Hospital today, with their newborn son wrapped in our ‘Nottingham Lace Knitted Baby Shawl’. We feel honoured that William and Kate have again chosen our beautiful merino wool lacy knit baby shawls, knitted here in Nottingham, and in doing so have continued a tradition for the next generation of Royals.
The Artisan Craft of Knitting Fine Lacy Shawls Each shawl travels through a journey of creativity, involving eight pairs of technically skilled hands. All lovingly produced at our Shawl Factory in Chilwell, Nottingham.
Handframe Knitting The history of Hand Frame Knitting; a cottage industry trade invented in 1589 by Rev. William Lee. A beautiful piece of machinery that still remains in working order at G.H. Hurt & Son to date.
