I’m probably too late getting started on this, but I’m gonna give it the old college try. The shawls must be completed by July, so I’m really cutting it close. :help:
I’m using a vintage wool pompadour I got on eBay a couple years ago. It was in a vintage crochet kit to make a simple top. I haven’t known what I was going to make with it, and when I read about this project, I knew it would work perfectly.
The shawls are supposed to measure at least 20 x 66 inches, so I’m sure I have enough yarn. (I have 7 ounces according to my postal scale)
Sandy, it looks nice. I considered working on a shawl for this campaign, but I knew I would never finish it in time. It took me nearly two years to finish a prayer shawl.
I didn’t know that pampadour came in wool. I have seen and worked with it in acrylic but never wool. It is really pretty in that color.
I know! I was so surprised when I saw this yarn. I knew it was wool, because the item description said it would be. I had no idea it was wrapped with rayon in a pompadour style until I opened the kit.
And it is definitely wool. I tried a quick hand rub test with water to see if it would felt, and it did! Plus, it has that characteristic wool smell. So, it is wool for sure.
I have found some very interesting yarns in vintage knitting and crochet kits.
