Yellow and Green Log Cabin
I couldn’t resist this incredible heavy soft merino yarn in yellow and green. I added a little hand spun blue, cream and red plus soft brown shetland.

A soft green mohair shawl
The warp was a fine white merino by Zegna Baruffa in Italy, the weft a fine green mohair yarn, and it was woven in a simple plain-weave with a little border shot with different colours.
