More Mad Ball fun!! These GIANT balls are double stranded lace and fingering weight - and lots of luxury fibers! Merino, cashmere, silk, cotton, linen - such good stuff in these balls! They change randomly as you work creating gorgeous projects like this one or the Mad Ball Stratus, Mad Ball Shawl, and Mad Ball Capelet! Mad Balls now come with a download for 23 patterns!!!

Mad Welts uses the the fun, random, changes in the Mad Balls to create a distinct ridging pattern on this basic, easy, but gorgeous triangle shawl!
