The current issue of Spin Off contains an article on traditional Danish shawls. It arrived a few short weeks after my birthday when Rose gifted me with some gorgeous Lagoon batts dyed and blended by her. I weighed the batts and thought I had more than enough for a shawl of my own. This week I spun the singles in preparation for knitting. Boy was it hard to soak them to set the twist and then wait for them to dry.

Those turned out gorgeous. I can't wait to see them knit up.
