This yarn turned into my second Buttonwillow warp. From the start I wanted to knit it in handspun yarn. I was not sure I had enough yarn, because the pattern called for 480yds/sportweight yarn, and I only had 460yds. As it turns out, I had about 1 yard leftover! The blocked size is 20" x 76".

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

    Deine handgesponnenen Garne sind immer sooo schön gleichmäßig, echt bewundernswert.
    Das Tuch ist ja riesig!

    Grüßle, die Bea

    I think one of those pups wants a belly rub! Beautiful yarn. Looks great in that shawl!

    What a difference the yarn does to the look of Buttonwillow! Both are lovely, but have such a different style.

    That's amazing, I love the way the colours delineate each section of the shawl.
    I don't know how you would ever get any work done without the assistance of the three dogs!!!
