The cotton Shawl ,,, in mind , is made for a friend who isn`t keen on wool , even when i am wearing several layesrs , but i know she wants a shawl . thus Cotton , was the ideal choice ,,,, and of course varigated or multy colored , i have found ax nice combination , while in belgium ,,, but i had only 200 gram [ 4 balls ] which should be enough, but put me in a spot of making it in the lenghth and leaving the width to the quantity measure ,,, i could of course add one plain color thread ,,, just now testing patterns ,,,it needs to be lacy ,,,,,,,to work ,,, mirjam
