You may remember that I was using up all the tiniest scraps of hand dyed yarn in my stash, turning them into a Granny Wrap shawl. You can see the planning part of this project in my Little Pearls Of Colour post back in 2024. I had sorted through all my leftovers putting anything which weighed less than 6g to one side to use in this project.
It's been a labour of love but the Granny Wrap by Annaboo's House is now finished. I have to tell you that some of those scraps extended for just a few stitches so you can imagine how many ends I've had to sew in, but I just don't trust the knots in magic knot balls so it was worth it to me for peace of mind.
Some scraps were longer than others but none weighed more than 6g, the total weight of the shawl is a remarkable 403g which means it's a very scrappy colourful shawl. It's amazing isn't it, a couple of people in my family have laughed at me for saving such small oddments of yarn but just look at what they've all added up to and what I've created with them.
"And what did you have left at the end?" you ask. Just the tiniest of scraps so I think I fulfilled the goal. The darker one was intentionally left out as I wanted to use brighter colours.
It's so soft and surprisingly warm so it will be perfect to either drape round my shoulders or lay across my lap when the colder weather returns. In the meantime, doesn't it look pretty in the sunshine.
