Sweet Thoughts- Handspun Woven Shawl with Art Yarns

Description

This is an incredible shawl!! It's really amazing!! I wove it on my Ashford loom, from yarn I corespun myself.

The shawl is 59" long without fringe and 72" long with fringe. It's 12" wide.. perfect to cover your shoulders and the top of your back. The warp is a soft bamboo/silk blend, in a natural creamy white. The weft is handspun corespun and tailspun yarns that I spun from mohair locks, cotswold locks, rambo locks, xl merino locks, banana silk, bamboo, novelty yarn snippets, fabric, firestar, angelina, lurex and sari silk. It's beautiful shades of pinks, rusts, browns, white and even a touch of yellow in some fabric here and there.

There's TONS of texture in this shawl.. but it's still soft and very drapy because of the bamboo/silk warp. I don't find the bling or mohair scratchy, and I do have sensitive skin. If you are SUPER sensitive, I would wear this shawl over a shirt, rather than a tank top.
I made sure the curly locks were sticking out for fun whimzy (but most of them are sticking out on ONE side.. so not to be scratchy to you). There's LOTS of sparkle in this piece as well, from the novelty yarn snippets to all the bling spun into the yarn. You'll shimmer and shine when you have this on!!
