Hello All! Thank you Agnes for posting pics of your shawl! WOW--I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled!! Did you say this came in a kit? Would you be willing to share the name of the manufacturer and/or some detail on the amount of yarn required to make the pattern--yards/metres? Although I'm not fond of Torchon, it is a very effective technique in this scale. I recall I read somewhere that a scarf made in Torchon would use about 30% less yarn than a knitted one of similar size & density. Would you believe, over time I've collected "one skein" of various yarns that are deliciously luxurious--one has hand tied/hand dyed silk ribbons interspaced on silk/wool blend--& way too expensive for me to make a sweater. After seeing your shawl & my recent "scarf experiment" with Oliver Twist embellishment threads, Torchon may be the ticket. Thanks again for sharing. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Palm Beach Gardens, FL USA
