This shawl was made with a discontinued Florentine Silk yarn from Kim Dyes Yarn in the colorway Jellyfishing. It’s not a color palette I would normally choose, but I ended up loving how it worked up. One thing I’ve noticed about Florentine Silk is that, although it’s classified as a sport-weight yarn, it has a bit more heft than you might expect, which gives finished pieces a beautiful drape.

When I first started this pattern, I remember having to frog several times before I finally got the stitch pattern right. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that stitch now. I’ve been so busy with work over the last few months that it’s definitely been cutting into my hobby time. I may need to work a little less—ha!
