Brown Shawl Finished... It's reversable!

I finished the brown shawl and was pleasantly surprised to find that I had 2 different looks in one shawl..





Ok, the above pictures are of the front side with the eyelash type yarn- this is a handspun wool plyed with this novelty yarn.. You can see the texture of the handspun yarn- I used locks of wool from different breeds.. then there is brown merino and cream wool down the middle.. Now on to the back side- when you are feeling more subdued.. not so artsie...




Once I finish pulling all of the little eyelashes to the front side this will be the more conservative side- a totally different look but still full of texture.. I love this shawl..

Very nice! I have not seen one with texture like this before. It's neat!

Oh Wow! That is beautiful. I really like the way of the different textures and colors interact. Really nice work. And reversible too - pure genius.

You are seriously making me think that a triangle loom is the first thing I'll ask for when my ship comes in... lol.

I love that you have a flashy side and a conservative side on this. Really beautiful!
