Wispy Shawl

I love one skein shawls... I know they are an easy project to jump on, they allow us to dream big with a small investment (just one skein) and they just make every single yarn of a very special yarn count. And while this shawl is not technically a one-skein project, it ALMOST is, and it was born as a one-skein idea to me, so hopefully you will find one special skein to make it! For this shawl you will need 1 skein of laceweight yarn (I used mohair) and a few yards (50y tops) of a coordinating fingering weight yarn (I used leftovers). I love designing with negative space. The new popularity of mohair has allowed me to play with light and shadows in my knitting, creating see-through textures and delicate contrasts. For Wispy, I used two yarns in a similar shade of dusty pink, but you can use completely different colors, to make the solid striping stand out more. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** 66 inches (165 cm) from side to side and 20 inches (50 cm) from top to bottom at deepest point (after blocking). **MATERIALS** Yarn: 1 skein of KidMo Silk Lace by Wobble Gobble (60% mohair/40% silk; 656 yards [600m]/50g) or approx 540 yards (494m) of lace weight yarn - Shown in colorway Dogwood. Referred to as 'Mohair' in the pattern.
1 partial skein of Merino Single by La Bien Aimée (100% merino; 400 yards [365m]/100g) or approx. 50 yards (45m) of fingering weight yarn - Shown in colorway Damask.
