Eyelet rows and a lacy pattern of puff stitches come together in this beautifully detailed shawl. It is so light and soft you hardly notice wearing it, but even so it lends a bit of extra warmth for chillier summer nights.

Martha Z, I have just bought this same yarn from ebay uk. Seller name is Knittedhome. Hope this helps.
I have almost completed a very large, months-long project of a lace shawl using this yarn, and to my dismay, I find I am a few grams (not more than 5) short. The yarn has been discontinued and I can’t find any anywhere in this color. I was wondering whether the designer might possibly have even part of a skein (any dye lot) that I could purchase. I would be very, very grateful.
Hello Martha! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Check Ravelry stashes. Contact any member who has it listed in their stash, even if the yarn isn’t listed for sale. Ravelry default is “not for sale” and many who might be interested simply don’t change the setting. Also, check eBay and Etsy or even Amazon.
This pattern is shown in large. How do I make it medium size?
Hi Rebekah! We’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola
Sorry but do you have any picture pattens with this “dew drop shawl”??? I can’t read it. ????????
Post your questions and we can help or reach out to the designer as needed.
Right above the comment section to the right (below the bottom picture) there is a link “Dew Drops Chart”. Is this what you’re looking for?
Thank you from Italy 🙂
I like this pattern verymuch.
