Batwing shawl

Arian already made one of these. I've heard lots of others all over blogville talking about making one or wanting to. The second I saw it on Elann I knew that I wanted it too. But I didn't want to do it in their yarn. I didn't want to make it in stashed yarn. I needed something handspun.

Enter a bunch of Coopworth dyed in my Mandy colorway.

I've heard Coopworth maligned a few times. People thinks it too scratchy or hairy. I happen to like it. It has a beautiful sheen when dyed and makes for a really nice single. When it's a 2 ply it is a totally different yarn. It just goes to show how different a wool is when it's spun differently, but you all knew that already.

This is the yarn:

I have 3 hanks all done. I think I have about 3 more ounces that need spinning. Maybe by the time I finish spinning I'll have time to knit it.

But right now I'm all atwitter. I get to go to the NH Sheep and Wool. I hadn't actually planned on going but when Pippi Knee Socks said that she was going, I said I'm there! Woohoo! Just 3 more days!
