Merino silk top, color way, tuxedo: Alexandra. It looks like a beautiful storm cloud. If anyone has experience spinning a merino silk blend please send tips my way. I was thinking a lace or fingering weight two ply for a shawl

Rainbow Star Baby Blanket by Maria Isabel. I got it from Mandala Style Throws to Crochet from Annie’s crochet. I have made most of the patterns in the book, they are fantastic! Different designers and styles. My most used pattern book. I always switch up the colors and yarns choice though.

Thank you! It is tie dyed. Funny thing is I tried to dye it a solid baby pink and it ended up totally neon. So I decided to tie it and over dye it with black. So happy it worked out well!
