Karen Shields' HUGS!
Updated 2024!
Introducing HUGS (Handcrafted Unique Gorgeous Shawls)… because everyone needs HUGS!
I am a skilled artisan with years of experience in crafting award-winning, handwoven shawls and other fashion accessories. To date, I have produced over 200 unique pieces, each admired for its exceptional quality and artistry.
My work incorporates a diverse range of yarn styles, including solid colors, ombre, variegated, and tweed. The HUGS collection, a particular highlight, offers personalized pieces created by weaving together the colors chosen by you and by a loved one. Each HUG is a one-of-a-kind creation, tailored specifically to your preferences.
As a
twin, I am deeply connected to the concept of duality. The
untimely passing of my twin brother many years ago has
inspired me to honor his memory by continuing to create
beautiful and innovative fashion designs. I am grateful to be
a part of a support group for surviving twins and I remain
committed to sharing my passion for weaving with the world.

Enjoy the walk around my virtual samples.
These HUGS are examples of styles that I wove in 2022.
They have been sold, but I hope give you an idea of how
creative the HUGS are.
