Hand Spun Wool Shawl

One of my passions is spinning fiber and than creating something wonderful out of the resulting yarn.  This shawl is one of my favorites.  I used the wool of one of my favorite lambs who has no passed away.  His fleece was always one of our finest and one I truly loved spending time spinning it up.

With this shawl I used a very Victorian looking crochet stitch and truly love how graceful it is.  I kept the wool in its natural color which is a soft off white so that it can be worn with anything.
Shawls make a great cozy wrap for cool winter nights at home or out on the town.
This shawl can be purchased at Lil Acres Farm on Etsy
