Fingering yarn for a shawl

 I almost always have a shawl in mind when I buy yarn.  However, this purchase was purely inspired by the fact that I adored the yarn in the picture.  Harps and Thistles was closing out some hand dyed yarn and had only a few skeins left.  The yarn was dyed by someone local to the shop.  It is Baby Alpaca/Linen/Tussah Silk.  And it is as pretty in person as it was in the photo.  I bought four colors:  Queen of the Damned, Missy Z, The Shortcut, and Lemon Tart.  I envision this as my spring project in 2022.  




Some of the patterns that I envision this yarn in are:

Olive Pink
Concatenation
Botanique
The Big Easy by Melanie Berg
Christmas in the City by Tammy Gore
