NZ Possum Shawl

 I bought this lovely soft lace yarn when on holiday in New Zealand back in 2015

I really had no idea what I was going to do with it. I just knew that it was the softest yarn I had ever touched.  There wasn't a great selection of colour in the little local yarn store in Hastings but this soft blue aqua was the nicest.

It has sat in my stash ever since

Now that I am eliminating the stash, I had to find a good use for this

It most definitely was going to stay with me and not be gifted to someone else.  I searched and searched to find something appropriate.  The problem was that I only had two 50g balls.  In the end I accepted that I could make a short scarf or a small shawl.  

I didn't want a scarf so it became this shawl.  It really was an easy peasy pattern 

I love the final product but whether I will ever wear it is another question.

We'll see what happens this winter.  It is beautifully soft and will tuck inside a coat or jacket easily

This photo shows the pattern more clearly but the first photo has the colour right
