Notes

Going to make the small size so I can make another project with the yarn which is totally gorgeous. Also LilyGo patterns run big with my gauge as I crochet looser than she does.

Got the skeins wound. There is some variance in the grams for the different colors but all are over 30g. I’m going to switch colors every 15g which should be plenty (I have 1890 yards, not 1260)

Skein OrigWt Left Used (grams)
1 - 31 - 18 - 13
2 - 36 - 27 - 9
3 - 35 - 17 - 18
4 - 33 - 17 - 16
5 - 36 - 20 - 16
6 - 32 - 18 - 14
total 203 - 117 - 86
I only switched colors on row ends. I worked backwards so skein #6 was neck. Could have done one more row in #2 and one less in #5 to balance better but oh well, still looks great. And will have enough for another shawl :)
FYI - Each skein was weighed with the tag tucked in.

Didn’t realize how crooked I had it pinned in till I finished we’ll see if it comes out okay otherwise I’ll reblock.
Tried to block wide instead of Deep and that worked out okay if I hadn’t gotten it so crooked.

34” deep, 78” across neckline.
91 grams in plastic bag
