I soaked the shawl yesterday and pinned it out on some insulations boards I laid out on the king size bed upstairs, on top of a bunch of towels.
The shawl feels dry, but the towels underneath are still damp when I just checked it, so it isn’t ready to get unpinned. Most likely tomorrow it will be done. Everything needs to be completely dry before I unpin it.
I didn’t get it quite square. It ended up being 57 inches square, and 81 inches across the middle from corner to corner. A thinner yarn is easier to stretch farther.
It has a lovely halo to the fabric from the qiviut fibers, and the silk gives it a lot of tensile strength. Patience is such a virtue. Pity I don’t have any 🙂
Good Morning. Oh how pretty the shawl looks and you. I bet next winter you will get much use out of it. Have fun organizing your wools. I bet you will find so much you have forgotten about. Thank you for the picture. You look so great. Been a long time. Have fun. Love me
