Purple/mauve cashmere shawl

It has been awhile since my last blog entry. This is because I have been weaving a large cashmere shawl, 1800mm x 490mm weighing 168g. I used two colours, purple and mauve, of a 2-ply hand-dyed cashmere yarn in an interesting pattern. The 479 warps, and the alternating colours, made progress slow. But an extremely soft and interesting garment has been the result.
