The yarn I used (Feza Rio) is not available on Lovecrafts, so I listed two others that would substitute well, Malabrigo Sock and Manos Del Uruguay Silk Blend Fino. I love knitting lace, I love Evelyn Clark's book giving very easy, adaptable instructions for different lace patterns that all fit together whatever way you want to make really pretty designs. I've never made an ugly shawl using her ideas. This was pretty easy and fun and a nice break from the cardigan that has been giving me problems for the last 11 months now. Unlike a cardigan, a shawl has no fitting issues, and if you seem to be running out of yarn, just stop earlier! I used a discontinued yarn with only one skein of a color that is no longer available, so I just wanted to use all of it, and I did! It is a light fingering weight yarn, wool with a tiny bit of cashmere.
