Shawl

[threeolivemartini]

HAAHAHA.. here it is .... my AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR DREAM SHAWL!..

 

I used Holly's Butterfly WIng Shawl Pattern

 

Then I went into my stash and found the yarns I wanted to work with ..

 

I knew I was going to use some of the silk rayon that I have in My eBay store.. because I had a request to show what it would look like with other yarns.. so the search began .. and please let me tell you .. I am a freak about my colours matching perfectly.. so this was not an easy task.. and I still dont like the dark purple I chose.. its not an exact match but I refused to buy yarn for this project.. so .. here is the break down on yarn yardage..

 

 

dark electric purple (acrylic chenille ).. 150 yards..

 

granny smith green (rayon chenille) .. 150 yards

 

periwinkle blue (cotton chenille) ..150 yards

 

rayon silk blend 300yds..

 

tahki aqua blue cotton ..125 yds..

 

debbie bliss cashcotton .. 125 yds

 

AND I used my K Turn Of The Centruy hook .. in Tulip wood..

 

and here is the shawl !!

[kariholtz]

OMg... It's really pretty. to me that somehow screams 70's... but in a good way.

[faithpa76]

It's beautiful!

[Becks]

That's really beautiful!

I think it looks kinda like what I'd say were Navajo colors.

Sorta southwestern. Know what I mean?

Is it really soft?

[ellebee]

Stunning! I love it!

[crochet mama]

Oh, that's gorgeous! Great job putting all the colors together.

 

[princsstrish]

WOW, that's gorgeous Beth!!!! Way to go!!!

[threeolivemartini]

Thanks girls..

 

 

Is it really soft?

 

in response.. its not soft.. its BEYOND soft .. and light.. its not a heavy shawl even though it looks it.. the silk and the other yarns were not heavy.. i think the heaviest thing there would be the cotton chenille..

[sleevelessinsu]

Gorgeous, I love the colors!

[dennymare]

Beautiful as usual Beth. Just love seeing all your work.

Yummmm .. that looks just decadent. I LOVE the multi yarn in there, and I concur that you did a great job picking colors that look great with it. I should have such a stash to choose from! One day ...

[threeolivemartini]

I should have such a stash to choose from!

 

 

I work with and sell yarn for a living so my stash is some what large.. I am going on about 400 pounds at the moment...

LOL ..

thanks again girls for all your kind words !!

[kariholtz]

Is it wrong to hate you cuz you have more yarn? LOL Just Kidding... I do however suffer from stash envy.
