One of my favourite knitting projects was a shawl made with yarn from Fleece Artist. I have received so many nice compliments whenever I wear it as a wrap. I was so flattered when the neighbourhood butcher even commented on how lovely it looked.I originally purchased the yarn kit at Village Yarns in Toronto. It was my first "luxury yarn" purchase and I've been a fibre snob ever since. The yarn is Goldilocks hand dyed in the amber colourway. Its fiber content is 56% kid mohair, 24% silk, 20% nylon spun into a boucle which gives the shawl a nice texture. The skein is 125g/500m.
The pattern for the shawl is included on the ball band. Very easy...
I used 6mm circular needles (100cm length)
Cast on 3 stitches.
Working in garter stitch, increase at the beginning of every row.
Continue until yarn is almost finished.
Cast off loosely....sorry folks, I did not count how many stitches I had in the end

It is just lovely. I am a firm believer that sometimes the simple knits really are the best and most satisfying. Great job!
Indeed it is a lovely wrap, having seen it first hand. Lovely colours too!
It is just gorgeous Diane, I am definitely going to knit a wrap with my Avoca boucle yarn next.
