I did a lot of swatching for this KAL, including Zephyr, but I decided in the end that I don’t want a stole, so I’m going to knit it as a scarf. I was given some Skacel Merino Lace by an online friend and hadn’t found the right project for it. It is nearer cobweb than laceweight, so I swatched with 2.50 mm and 2.75 mm needles (US #1.5 and #2). I’m going to go with the 2.75 mm, which will give a scarf about 12.4″ by 58″. That seems a good size for a cobweb scarf to me.
So here are the swatches. They are lacier in real life than they look here.
I scored 4 free Blue Faced Leicester fleeces last month, and I finally got around to washing one. Then I felt a need to dye some of it, so …

Your swatches are gorgeous and so is the BFL. Yummy.
Love your color and swatch. Cant wait to see your stole.
That is the most beautiful fleece I have ever seen, How did you get the sheep to stand still so you could dye it so pretty??? (HA HA!) Yumm, wanna sell some? OP
I was glad to see your Mystery Stole swatches, and to hear that you intend to make a scarf. With the yarn I intend to use, I will probably end up with a scarf as well!
