Sample of wrap pattern

The extra fine lambs wool of this yarn makes for a soft wispy shawl perfect for your special day.

Increase the width to use the shawl as a bridal veil that can then be used as a shawl for those glamorous nights out.

Note: While working on this shawl, my dog decided that it would make a nice snack. Not only did he destroy the shawl but also most of the remaining ball of yarn. The sample piece in the image to the left was worked up quickly in cotton thread so it could be released in this issue. I'm continuing to work on the real shawl and will replace the images once it is completed.
