By the Light of the Silver Moon

Note from Sundara...After I dyed some silver-ish colors the earlier this week and last, I had a lovely customer request "something silver" in fingering merino to knit the "Zilver" shawl by Lisa Mutch (free, 1 skein). Silver in merino was a challenge I could not resist. Because merino is not conducive to shimmer. But you know what? I came pretty darn close.

I found this lovely silvery moon photo and dyed up this light silvery-grey that has a hint of purple, but much less so in the yarn, the yarn is more silver than anything, I needed that purple in the photo to make the yarn silver, and here we are. As close to shimmery as you will ever find in a 100% merino yarn. The shawl looks to be the perfect combo of elegant and squishy with just enough pattern scattered through out to keep it interesting and just enough stockinette so you can go mindless when you need to. Add that to the soft and squishy merino in SILVER (!!) and the whole thing is pretty much perfect.

"By the Light of the Silver Moon" will not be dyed again. Updated: 1/2 batch left.
