This is a nice adventure for me. I bought the batt from plumedevigogne at the Vivre en Laine salon in Murat , France. The plan is to spin it as fine as possible. I haven’t done any serious spinning for about 10 years, so it will be interesting. Then knit a plain triangular shawl letting the colours in the wool do the work. Finally, add a fine lace-weight lace border in a toning colour. The big question at the moment is which. But first I will spin the wool and knit the shawl .

Plyed wool fingering weight rather than lace and there is only 230 m of it!

Basic shawl finished. Took a while to decide on the lace edging. Finally plumbed for a traditional scalloped edging with stretchy connection rows and copper beech ( 0912) fine-laced weight wool. It is fitting well at two rows of lace to one cast-off stitch of home spun- fingering.

After blocking the lace edging is more dramatic.
I only added the lace to the scarf by attaching every other row to a cast-off stitch to begin with. After a while I connected 4 rows to the same cast off stitch and even more as I got towards the point.

What I would do different.
Next time, and there will be a next time as I really enjoyed this project.
I would make a real effort to spin the wool/silk thinner and I would attach the lace at a rate of 4 rows to one cast off stitch right from the beginning.
250 metres of lace weight wool would still manage this I think.
