very beautiful. The colors are so soothing and it looks wonderfully soft and drapey.

I saw a gorgeous shawl and I knew straight off this was you Ellen! I won some cashmere in the Halloweave event and now I am terrified to use it!

Thank you endorph. Yes it is, those materials are all just wonderful for both softness and drape, shere luxury :-)

Congratulations, Laverne :-)

You'll find cashmere just wonderful to use, no need to be scared :-) Be sure to use it for something meant to wear, it is unsurpassable for softness. I look forward to seeing what you'll do with it.

Notes

This was the result of a gift of a lovely handdyed alpaca/silk/cashmere. It was slightly tone-in-tone, so I decided to use plain weave and then luckily found a matching cashmere/wool to use for weft. The name of the colour was Winter Sea, so I used varied setts to give the impression of waves, and also added a few strands of silk, grey 30/2 and white 60/2 doubled, in a few places.
