but you wanna use lace weight… how much more yardage do you need? :teehee:
I’m getting ready to start a shawl that calls for 4,275 yards of finger weight yarn… but found a lace I like really well… only thing is I can only get 4,380 in this one color way I really really like… would that be enough :shrug:
TIA :happydance:
I’m not sure, but one thing about a shawl is it’s okay to make it a few inches shorter or longer. You may have to do a gauge swatch to determine how much you’d need for sure. :shrug:
Thanks… not sure what I’m going to do… the shawl is knit in the round…the final measure of the shawl is 72"… I’m not sure I can judge that on the circular needle to know when to stop… I did find another lace that I know would give me enough so I might go that way… only thing is I won’t be able to use my options… which means I will have to buy the Addi lace needles… darn… 
That sounds like one enormous shawl. Literally blanket sized, maybe like a queen sized bed blanket. I know of many decent sized shawls made with 1500 yards of lace or less, so I think 4300 will get you plenty far. What is this shawl, out of curiosity?
Thank you, I went ahead and ordered a different yarn cause I wasn’t for sure… figured I better be safe than sorry :teehee: It’s the civil war shawl … I talked mom into joining the June Kal with me since I’ll be home a lot this summer… I wanted to go ahead and get my yarn and everything though and be a little bit ahead of mom so I can help her if she needs me to… lol mom has only been seriously knitting since December… before that it was just Grandma’s dish rags… she has made a felted bag and prayers shawl since then… she is nervous about it but I know she will do fine… :teehee:
Glorious image but it is very large. Given the patterning etc I think it best you did what you did with the yarn purchase.
