Notes

The shawl reminds me of a nautical scene. Actually, I really like this yarn - 75% acrylic, 25% superwash wool and it crocheted very nicely; but the shawl is heavy, more like a blanket. I love it, though.

I ordered 2 tassels , the content is silk with a silver top and a loop to attach. Arriving in a month, probably from China (Amazon). Tassel Depot has nice tassels that are made in the USA, but they are mainly for graduation hats.

My homemade tassels are not very good and I saw a new tassel maker at Joann’s that I would like to buy soon.
