A New FreeForm Shawl


I worked on some fun spinning this last week, including this Super Sparkly Soft and Silky lace weight. It's a blend of alpaca, merino, bfl and silk, plus generous quantities of sparkle. I'm working on a freeform shawl and I needed a light weight, glossy yarn that was delicate, but with a lot of personality so that it wouldn't get lost in all the texture of my art yarn.


I'm using it to embellish this fabric I knit with some of my handspun art yarn. It's hard to capture the pretty opalescence, but I think this little lace weight holds its own amongst all the curls, twirls and cocoons.

I hope you have had a wonderful week, I'm on my way to visit Andrea and check out all the happy creative people at WonderWhy's Fiber Arts Friday!

Blessings Friends!

About Me

My Photo
I'm a crafter, knitter, tinkerer, who always seems to have a project or two on the launch pad. I love to cook too and bake. And who doesn't love a good book? There's nothing better than settling in to a comfy chair for a nice cozy read! Oh, I almost forgot, I like to spin too, I really love all those scrumptious art yarns and I've been having fun learning new spinning techniques. I have a big interest in jewelry and metalsmithing as well and one day very soon I may just finish my BFA. So here I am lucky me, because I always meet the kindest and the most interesting people, and all of this plus hopefully a giggle or two will be the fuel to propel this little boat along!
