hi
been browsing the charity blogs
i make the shawls you all are making in many colors
the triangle ones
i tried the same type of shawl using
plain yarn and then some of the novelty yarn
sometimes i use plain yarn and some of the novelty yarn together
it turns very pretty
but you have to be sure to knit with a 6 mm
i did it on a 10.mm and it fell apart
washed on delicate cycle
and not dried
all in garter stitch
but it fell apart i think because of the size of theneedle
but try it comes really pretty
