Remember how Zetor was all pretty in stitches, but kinda yucky in colour?



Mom overdyed the shawl with one of my favourite blue dyes and it created a lovely mottled purpley, blue and green fabric. So pretty, and even nicer in person.
I definitely want to make a larger, pointier Zetor now. I still haven't ripped out the Starry Zetor, so when the Sea Silk Frozen Leaves is done, maybe I'll finish it up.
I'm not sure if I shared this picture with you before:

To me, the Fluffy Cat is the ULTIMATE shawl yarn. It's sinfully soft, has an incredible drape and creates a light, sensuous fabric. Baby alpaca, cashmere and silk - it really is a luxurious yarn. Want to treat yourself to something special? This is the yarn!
There are five colours of Fluffy Cat in the shop right now. We did a little Fluffy Cat dying today and the results should be up in the shop by early next week (or this weekend if we get frisky). I'll be dying more on Friday as well.
And also on the shawl front, I'm still booking away on the Sea Silk Frozen Leaves and loving every minute of it. I've got six leaf repeats done, and it's starting to slow down because it's getting much wider, but I'm still aiming to finish it up by the weekend... so I guess I better get of the computer....

OMG droolworthy!!! Zetor looks fabulous in the new colour! And that pink shawl is to die for!! I can't think of a name worthy of that luciousness!
The overdye color is very pretty.
Don't forget the roast beast and squash too.
Love, love, love the new Zetor! It was a bit Eastery beforehand. :)
OMG! The overdyed shawl is fabulous! I actually gasped when I saw the picture. I am soooo tempted to go buy some of that yarn even though I never wear shawls.
Is roast beast and squash a new colorway? ;o)
Your shawl turned out great! So beautiful in its new color. You have a great mom!I barely like blocking for myself, I don't think I would do it for anybody else. :o)
And of course I agree,Fluffy Cat is a wonderful shawl yarn.
Zetor looks great!! :)
Name your shawl "Acorn" ... dunno why, but it popped into my head.
Zetor is gorgeous! I love the color that the overdye created...so much better. I wasn't sure what would happen with the overdyeing but what a good decision!
I love the new shawl - I have no idea what you should call it but its really pretty and I can't wait to get the pattern. I think I need to try Fluffy Cat now (you know Top Cat is my favorite!).
Ooh, so gorgeous! Both shawls are stunning (I love the overdye on that first one). More yarn in the store and mother's day is coming up -- excellent combination :)
Those shawls are both so lovely!
Hey! I need to know something, um, mostly because I'm too lazy to do a swatch and I didn't want to waste any of my Fluffy Cat. Does this yarn bloom/grow much when you wash/block it? Theoretically, it doesn't matter because I'm not worried much about the size (I'm doing a shawl), but I don't want to wind up with it being too huge.
Thanks!
PS, it's brilliant yarn and I can't wait to finish the shawl!
