Stole: Stubborn Hope
This stole from the Stitching Hope™ Center bears witness to the kind of hope that refuses to give way to despair – the stubborn hope that is always seeking another way. The women of Chacraseca embody this kind of hope as they claim the joy and promise of each new day, even in the midst of critical, often death-dealing poverty. Both Lent and Advent call us to the kind of stubborn hope that will make it possible to follow Jesus on journeys that bring both mangers and crosses.
Sizing
All stole measurements are from the nape of the neck to the end of the fabric. Sizing is a matter of preference.
- Short = 49 to 50 inches
- Standard = 51 to 52 inches
- Long = 53 to 54 inches
Custom sizes can be made for children or very tall adults! When placing a custom order, be sure to tell us in the checkout comments what length you would like: measure from the nape of the neck down. (The total length of the stole will be twice this.)
Because of the handmade nature of Stitching Hope™ products, there will be some variation color and pattern. All fabrics are hand-painted.
Availability
JustHope keeps a small number of Stitching Hope™ products in common sizes on hand in our Tulsa office. If you place an order for a product/size that we don't have currently in stock, we will let you know, and acquire what you need from the Stitching Hope™ Center in Chacraseca. It may take one to two months before you receive your order in such instances.
