    Gorgeous! I made my wedding shawl from Orkney angora (I was born there so wanted a connection at my wedding), must admit if I did it again I’d go for a blend as you’ve done here, rather than pure angora, some of the lace definition is lost but it still looked pretty, even if it shed everywhere…

    I agree with Amy, that shawl is just to stunning, I really need to add it to my library for the future to make. And most definetely in Angora, soft and bright. Thanks. :-)

    This is absolutely STUNNING! I generally don’t look to use the exact same yarn in a project but I’m really tempted to for this one, it’s such an amazing finished object! Yay for Handmade in the UK!

      Thanks! The yarn is amazing… I wouldn’t have thought that lace + angora would be good, but in K1 yarns here in Edinburgh they had a sample knit up in the angora 4-ply, and it is amazing!
