In July I drove past the most beautiful Lavender fields.
Inspired by this I decided to cast on some yarn I had purchased from a company called Mo & Co based in Yorkshire. They were new to yarn shows and they exhibited for the first time at Yarndale.
The yarn is 90% British Mohair from Angora goats kept in Yorkshire and 10% British Blue Faced Leicester.
The colours were completely perfect purple and lime green I was looking for.
Here is the journey of the shawl from beginning to end which was photographed at Slimbridge Wetlands Trust.
I look forward to many hours of wearing this and showing it to the yarn suppliers at this year's Yarndale.
