Spin on! Don't you just love how the colors in the fiber just move so gradually into eachother. This shawl pattern is called Beithe over on Ravelry. I was not sure how I was going to like casting on over 400 stitches to start this as it goes from the bottom up! Once that was done it was a very fast knit and I just LOVE it. Love the drape of the Polwarth and silk blend of this fiber, the lightness and drape. I spun almost 600 yards out of my 5 ounce braid of fiber. The color way is Message in a Bottle and dyed by CorgiHillFarms on etsy. The biggest challenge was blocking it!
I have a few patterns in my ravelry library that are just crying out for some handspun yarns. If you visit ravelry and want to friend me I am timelessdog over there.
