Notes

Loved it in the skein but knitting with it…. think it’s just too much color …. thinking it might need some solid blocks of color to tone down the brightness factor.

Teeth 14 & 15 the yarn started to pool…. not happy with it.

Frogging back & will introduce a solid to break up the pooling & the brightness. Hoping it helps.

Woolbearers yarn to the rescue… Love the introduction of the black. It’s just enough to tone down the riot if colour & still neutral enough to let the colour be the star.

Adding more black stripes at the end of the shawl to balance it out.

Teeth: 42

Has a small ball of “party” left over.
