Notes

13.02.2016

This yarn has refused to play nicely with any other shawl pattern I have tried it with to date !

With 720 yards I should have enough for a 12 column shawl at the original 60” length.

19.02.2016

After blocking managed to get 60” x in 18 “ with a 12 column repeat. The silk has a lot of give in it when wet so was able to really stretch it out during the blocking process.

Very happy with the way the yarn has pooled/repeated in sync with this pattern - a happy coincidence on the first skein which needed a bit of encouragement on joining in the second.
