Notes

Yarn is very rustic and not easy to knit, but looks great. Very defined. Yarn made the most amazing transformation in the wool wash. Very fluffy.

Dont get confused by the measurements. Middle spine is 160cm, the pattern border 150 cm and the upper line 160 cm. That doesnt sound really big, but its HUGE because of the arrow shape.

The yarn is NOT tbe be recommended. Send me a private message if you require more details.

I treated the shawl with a lanolin bath to avoid further yarn breakage. This seems to work extremely well.
