To quote one of our 3 lovely test knitters:
My impressions: I really, really like this pattern. It was a very intuitive knit and I enjoyed the flow and “variety” of the lace rows -- It kept my interest as I knit! I have a few skeins of beaded mohair that I would love to give this a spin with. If it would be okay with you, I might be modifying it slightly: adding an additional Panel 5 (repeat of panel 1) for symmetry in the body before the ending.

Thank you very much for allowing me to test knit this. Your yarn is THE BEST in my opinion. I must have yarn for at least a dozen projects (maybe two dozen!) already and yet I want more more MORE. (and I keep BUYING more more more…so go ahead and make that down payment on a villa in Italy LoL) You are so very gracious to all of us Artyarnaholics on Ravelry and Facebook, I will continue to look forward to what comes next!

This Shawl is knitted using our brand new Merino Cloud in color CC1. It looks lovely in a solid color too, as you can see it modeled by another of our test knitter in Merino Cloud color H3.
