A cosy shawl for darker days. I love a lace pattern in thicker cosier yarn and when I came across this aran roving from West Yorkshire Spinners I knew that it wanted to be a heavier weight lace wrap, just the the kind of thing you reach for on colder days as an extra layer while reading or pottering about the house. It also works well bundled up as a scarf on super cold days where you want to make sure no chill can reach you.

5.5mm 60-80cm circular needle (straight needles would also work but I prefer to work on circulars to distribute the weight better)
