Made with a double strand of a favorite lace-weight mohair and silk blend, you'll have fun playing with color, mixing with ombre shading, or crossing the color wheel for graphic punch. For the scarf, we mixed four solid colors - two at a time - to create shaded color blocking. For the wrap, we played with four softly self-striping colorways - sometimes with themselves, sometimes with each other - so no two pieces will ever be alike. You'll just have to make another one.

I loved making this shawl, and I enjoyed the process of choosing colors and row counts. I did use Jul Designs fasteners rather than stitching the shoulder seam. I also made my project a little larger by about 10 inches. The big surprise was my 30 year old niece modeling it at Easter when we all got together and then styling it on my 85 year old mother. It also looks great on my taller sister, but I think it looks best on ME!
