Yarn Choice:
This small shawl is knit in worsted weight yarn. It has an attached button for closure. NO BUTTONHOLE.You are to use the open work at the top as a buttonhole, so picking a button size and shape – please keep this in mind. I have shown the piece in both a hand-dyed and hand-spun colorway and in 2 hand dyed yarns.
It would also be a VERY good and fun stash buster, mixing in and switching yarns as what you have demands and following what you feel would be good & fun.

Notions: stitch markers, needle or hook to tuck in ends,
1 VERY special BUTTON (optional)

FINISHING: Soak wash and HARD BLOCK…
button placement varies person to person…it needs to be tested.
I recommend pinning it on and trying it before sewing.

I really find that the challenge of an AMAZING and gorgeous yarn…

The handspun is/was stunning in the skein and a bit intimidating.
In these cases, I believe you need to try to put yarns like this into a
format (design / pattern) that is QUIET enough to let the yarn be the showcase. I love that this yarn looked amazing to me in the skein & I also love it in the finished piece. I sometimes think I need to alter a pattern or design idea to work with a particular yarn; either the dye configuration is not complimented in the design OR something else seems discordant.
This design seemed to work like a dream with the material.
The second texture and the lace add on came as I worked.
