The yarn is a mill-end that I purchased at The Mannings last fall. It is 3 different fibers spun together. You might be able to see colors if you click on the close up.

Thanks to Jon for taking all of these great pictures.
On tap this week: WEAVING. It has been too long. I am going to head to the ArtSpace tomorrow night to get a warp ready for my tabletop LeClerc. I am going to make small lunch bags using carpet warp for the warp and recycled plastic bags for the weft. This is similar to a previous project when I made grocery bags with recycled plastic bags. I will probably stick to plain weave with this project to get them off the loom quickly. I think these will make some great gifts.
I am also going to get my warp ready for my multi-fiber shawls.

Your crocheted shawl is so pretty! I'm a knitter, not a crocheter, so the idea of just one hook doing all that is amazing to me!
Good luck getting your next warps ready! I'm very interested in multi-fiber warps - I have some scarves and blankets in mind that would be out of assorted fibers - but I haven't really figured out how to do it without weird shrinkage yet. (I haven't had bad experiences - just heard horror stories.)
I'll be interested in how it goes for you - and of course, hoping that it goes well!!
Good luck!

Wow! This shawl is just beautiful! Nice work! I would love to see the projects you made from Ultra Alpaca. I think it's my new favorite yarn. I just started working on the dress with the gorgeous birthday yarn (thanks again for that gift certificate!).
