Reminiscent of dewdrops sitting on leaves on a spring morning, this delicately beaded shawl is light enough to keep those chilled mornings at bay or to use in the summer for a “theater shawl.” It comes in two sizes, one perfect for just covering the shoulders and the second is nearly elbow length utilizing the entire skein of yarn. Made in Bewitched Pigments Alchemy, a luscious Merino/Cashmere/Nylon fingering weight blend. This yarn is a delight to knit with and is perfect for variegated, tonals or semi-solids, and gradients. With a lightly beaded edge and an off-set design, it is the perfect weight and begs to be wrapped around your shoulders.
