I've never worked with such lightweight yarn or a yarn containing silk. At 72, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Love your tutorials, you are so zen and peaceful.

[@Zylophila]

Of course you had to present a shawl that is telling me to stop everything and make this shawl. NOW! I've made the Roswen shawl for a friend and I have the Etude 2 shawl and Midnight Grove still waiting in my drawer to make. I think I'll use the Devoted kit for this shawl as I just want to make 1 Rainier for a different friend and I keep messing up the rounds and I need to take a break.The fog is clearing and it looks like a great day to crochet outside wrapped in my Dashael shawl and Peacock with the Blurr collection. I planned on reorganizing my stamp room, but...Adorn is calling my name!!! Thank you once again for making this world beautiful! Love and hugs!!!

[@colleenmarceau2639]

I have not tried lace weight yarn for any projects yet. But all of your yarns are amazing to work with! I can knit like a fiend, and I am wanting SO MUCH to learn to crochet! In watching this video, I think I can do it! I may just end up with a small scarf, but at least it could be something! Being left handed makes me wish I could watch your crochet videos reversed! (I knit right handed)

[@mollymckay7417]

The simplest patterns are always the most beautiful to me, I have found what I’ve been looking for!! Won’t be using lace weight- I think it’ll be my birthday cake luster sport (with hiking boots and… the other one I picked out). Cmon Mr postman!

[@joanndeisenroth9031]

I love that yarn and pattern. It is so pretty, the shape, the drape, the color, it is really beautiful!!

[@laduke4324]

Such a lovely elegant yarn and the sweet ruffles give this delightful work an over all unique look and silky feel❣️

[@Michwelle]

I love working with lace weight. Sometimes I carry it along with another yarn to create a special type of fabric!!

[@DebraR35789]

I have never worked with lace before. It’s always made me a bit nervous but this pattern looks like something I can do. Thank you for sharing.

[@wendyballenger]

I made a wedding shawl for a friend with lace weight yarn; she loved it! This is such a pretty pattern! And beautiful yarn!!

[@OldiesR4Me47]

This is so lovely and feminine. I can hardly wait to make it. I have a birthday coming up and it's the perfect present I can make for myself. I have never worked with such lovely yarn and your video instructions make it look so easy to do and are fun to watch. Thank you!

[@aliciageorge831]

This is so beautiful. I love patterns with beads, it just adds another element of texture and sparkle. Lace weight is my favorite yarn to work with. I live in Florida, so the light and airy feel it creates in lace work is perfect for year round wear.

[@vidyaacharya6026]

Love this pattern... Easy, mindless yet elegant.... Lace weight is my favorite yarn weight to work with, as it has huge yardage and drapes beautifully once worked up....

[@SusanLoya-i3i]

I love your patterns and your yarn. I’ve been crocheting for about a year and a half. Just need to learn more about yarn. Thanks!

[@romarinet]

I have never worked with silk before. This shawl looks light and delicate. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheKaapie]

I've never worked with lace weight yarn before. The colours and the pattern are absolutely beautiful. ❤

[@barbhall2752]

I have knit and crochet with finger weight yarn but have not with the alpaca. This is actually a really simple project now that you have shown me. 😊 I love it. Thanks ❤

[@silverbirdy6770]

Dear friend, your creations are so lovely! I enjoy just listening to you and following you online each time you present a new pattern or yarn. Truth be told I have never crocheted or knitted a thing with lace yarn! I would be willing to give it a try since you make it look incredible. Thank you for all the beauty you send our way each week. Peace to you.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're very welcome 💞

[@tinastalion6266]

The colors in this beautiful shawl are just stunning together. I have never worked with Lace weight yarn before but would love to make this shawl. Thank you so much! 😊🧶💜🦋

[@ijeomasady2204]

Ooooo what a gorgeous pattern. Thank you for sharing another fabulous one Chandi. I do love working with laceweight yarn, the drape it gives to my shawls is second to none 🙂

[@camilabelle]

This is a really gorgeous simple pattern, Chandi! The beautiful pearlescence of the lace weight yarn is perfect for this pattern!! 💟 I'm looking forward to making this one! ❣️😊

[@lolitawolfe6636]

Thank you, this is so lovely. I have worked with lace weight before,but this yarn has a liquid quality. Glorious!

[@audreycastelton2655]

Omgoodness- the shine on the Alpaca yarn for this project - beautiful. Downloaded the pattern and with this tutorial it is next on my project list to make as a gift for me. With Christmas and friends having babies I've been busy making for others. I'm going to try adding beads for the first time also ❤ Tfs

[@aecmediallc1068]

Thank you so much for showing a much neater way of beginning the triple crochet. The stacking is great and your instruction is on point…as usual! I’m also trying to conquer the beginning chain stitch. Way easier than just chaining. So glad you reviewed that. Love the outtakes, too! So funny! 😂 Great pattern!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad it was helpful! 💞

[@michellebuchanan8630]

Such a beautiful pattern. It will be very stunning with the different color options. I have worked with the Alpaca Silk Lace yarn before. It was with the Sunset Diamonds shawl that we did for the 2023 summer crochet-a-long. That one turned out beautiful as well. Can't wait to make more beautiful things.❤❤

[@bettygomezak]

I love your lace yarn, I’ve made a few gifts to friends, using it for scarves. Those colors are so beautiful 😍

[@azumie4485]

Thank you for the free pattern and this wonderful tutorial, Chandi! ❤️❤️❤️ I am fairly new to learning more than simple crochet stitches and am still learning how to read a pattern. You are helping me immensely! I have not worked with lace weight yarn. The lightest I have tried is #3 weight, making 2 shawls so far. Yes, never underestimate the power of the dog. Love it and love you! 🫶🏼🐶

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You can do it 💞

[@Itsyarntime]

Oh, this is going to be perfect for a sleeveless dress I'm wearing at a wedding. I've made a couple of shawls with lace weight yarn, they've come out so light, flowy & beautiful.

[@justmeb397]

Oh my....this is such a beautiful pattern.. it literally made me stop for a moment and just stare. I have used lace weight before, and I can't wait to start crocheting this beauty 😊❤

[@sherry5107]

This patterns is simply beautiful. Of course that light, airy alpaca silk yarn adds to the beauty of it! I am currently working with your lace weight 50/50 yak/silk yarn kit in Dark Academia Hues colorway, making another shawl. I absolutely love the delicacy of it! I do think I prefer the alpaca over the yak, but it it is a tough choice. Lace weight yarn: love, Love, LOVE it! The end results are always so soft, feminine, and full of puddly drape!

[@GlaserCrafts]

This yarn and wrap pattern is exquisite! I never worked with silk alpaca before, and I would love to. And the color combination is the cherry on top! Amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤.

[@roli3342]

i love the bloopers - thanks for the laughs - and i have worked with lace weight yarn - i really like small needles and thin yarn and the resulting small stitches

[@nicolebianco]

Your words to describe this - elegant and romantic- are so perfect. I love the alpaca silk lace yarn but have only used it combined with fingering so far. I think I need to make this ❤!

[@Leaveittobeav5093]

I have never used silk or featherweight yarn. You always have such beautiful colors!

[@sweetrythym]

I have worked with alpaca yarn and love the gel and stitch definition it provides. I have worked with lace weight yarn and have also doubled it. Since then, that's all I want to work with, as well as fingering weight. I will download this pattern and give it a try. I've never worked with applying beads. Love the challenges you consistently provide and your warm and positive vibes. 🤗

[@amrose250]

Been crocheting for over 40 years but never have used lace type yarns. This beautiful shawl may get me started! Love it!

[@heathermullins3281]

I have never worked with Lace weight before, but I’d love to work with this alpaca silk! What a dreamy combo! Love your videos as always!!

[@paulalherrera7586]

Lovely pattern and the colours, the lace weight is wonderful to work with to me it looks luxurious 😍😊

[@valeriebehrens6383]

Wow! I have recently subscribe, maybe a month ago just from the beautiful articles you model in such an elegant way but this is the first time I have had a few minutes to watch and I have learned two different ways to do things already! I have worked with lace weight and a partial silk yarn, but never alpaca. AND a ruffle!!! Thank you!

[@teresarichards7389]

Oh my, totally loving those colours! ❤ I have worked with lace weight yarn before, but nothing as beautiful as this pattern. 😍

[@lhm178]

I have worked with lace weight before, and it's such a special experience. ❤

[@dianeclark4180]

Very pretty shawl. I haven't worked with lace weight yarn yet. The drape and the beading on this shawl make it so elegant. Thank you for the tutorial, Chandi.

[@chriskramer7004]

The out takes are so funny! You made me smile. Thanks! Have a great weekend.

[@NytingGayle]

This is breathtaking! You are stunning! I've never worked with lace weight yarn before but, good gracious, this makes me want to! That yarn looks heavenly!

[@Tlily13]

I can't wait to make this one. I live in a warmer state so this will be great! I love the ruffles as well!

[@joyfullyjustine]

I have never worked with lace weight yarn but it looks dreamy. Such a pretty color selection.

[@MannyCoon]

I have not worked with it before but am truly inspired to after seeing this beautiful shawl!!

[@mmiirraazzss]

I have worked a lacy shawl once with lace weight yarn. Really like it. Wearing it feels like a smooth babytouch. You've choose a beautiful color-combo for this shawl - as always.

[@carmeneverestwahl4853]

Heehee - I've never used lace weight yarn. I didn't even know it existed but this shawl looks perfect for a first attempt. Thank you again for sharing these lovely free patterns with us 🩵

[@knotlady2820]

Lace weight yarn is my favorite. Most of the projects I do are in lace weight. Thank you for another beautiful pattern.

[@doxiecracra4127]

This absolutely beautiful. I’ve never used this type of yarn…would love the chance to try it ❤. Thank you for tutorial of this beautiful piece.

[@ruthsasu6067]

Love the simplicity and elegance of this shawl design. The ruffles give it a really feminine look too. I've never worked with a fingering weight yarn but I think I'm seriously going to have to give this a try 😊

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Wonderful! 💞

[@Odjjm]

So lovey and feminine. I have some lace weight yarn but have never used it. It seems so delicate it intimidates me!!!

[@COKidsOutdoors]

I had to look back, but I've never used lace weight. One of my favorite projects was in fair trade, mulberry silk fingering yarn. It is so soft, silky, and light. I can't even imagine how airy this piece will be when done. Beautiful project!

[@Kylie4Queen]

I’ve never worked with lace weight before. A few months ago, I took your advice with trying fingering weight (and I love it), so I’m game to try lace weight. Thank you Chandi

[@karenaemrich6253]

Sad to say that fingering weight yarn is the smallest I have worked with. I feel inspired to learn. Thank you.

[@KathyGaines-l5m]

Hello friend, I haven't work with this yarn before, but I have been making your beautiful shawls, can't wait to make this beautiful shaw/scarf, love everything in your video, thanks for sharing ❤

[@cjkathe]

Crochet is so perfect for spring! I have worked with lace-weight before, but not any from Expression Fiber Arts - would LOVE to!

[@JustMeandCrochet]

Love this shawl . I have used this yarn type before but never used beads. Using beads are on my bucket list this year. Love the colors.

[@farahtabibi3515]

Such a beautiful pattern! The end ruffles and the color and the make of the yarns make it look so luxurious!! No I have not worked with lace weight yarn or any yarn with silk. In fact all I have knitted or crocheted in my entire life was either with acrylic or cotton yarns. Thank you for sharing your new patterns with us. I enjoy your videos the same way I enjoy yoga. Your voice is therapeutic!

[@AnaisLily1969]

I have not crocheted with lace weight, nor have I worked with beads! I can't wait to see how that is done!

[@areim1102]

My dream is knitting shetland lace wedding ring shawl, so I am now practicing a lot 👍 lace weight yarn is my goto yarn for making partial goals 😊

[@brasileiroviajante]

I'm definitely going to be making this as a shawl! It looks absolutely dreamy! I have worked with lace weight yarn before and it's wonderful! Everything comes out so delicate!!

[@gracerocha7042]

I have not worked with lace weight yarn. This pattern is beautiful snd elegant. Lovely shawl!

[@amberwilburn4427]

So beautiful - I'm looking forward to making this pattern! I've never used lace weight yarn - the finest I've gone so far is fingering weight - but I plan to try once I've gotten a bit better with finer yarn. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos - they've been invaluable in helping me learn to crochet :) Take care!

[@HandmadeByRuby]

I love finding extra uses for lace weight yarn. It’s great to add colour by adding it to a heavier yarn and working with as many strands together as you need for your project. I tend to use no more than 2 extra yarns but there’s always a time. For example if you’re using scrap yarn and want to maintain a consistent weight of your yarn. I think I’m just trying to say it’s super useful 😂🧶 ❤🐾

[@cals34]

Lovely pattern, I've never worked with lace weight yarn before, that yarn does look beautiful.

[@susancohnlackman2008]

I love lace-weight yarn! I live in Central Florida where it can be 90 degrees outside and 65 air-conditioned degrees inside. I love making a shawl that scrunches up in a bag and then blossoms into a layer to take off the chill. Alpaca is non-allergenic, which gives it an extra star in my book. And the pattern - yummy and feminine and sensuous. The beginning chain, once learned, is perfect for every single “chain x stitches” because your chain won’t be tighter than your next row (and you’ll be one row ahead).

[@BlankaB2]

I made Terebinthia with your Alpaca Silk Lace yarn, I added beads too and it came out gorgeous. Your outtakes at the end of this video cracked me up. You don't know how much I needed it today. Thank you, Chandi!

[@debhughes9946]

No, I have never worked with lace weight yarn. 😮 Thank you for this lovely pattern!

[@almostaliceng]

I have not had the pleasure to work with lace but I'm excited to. This pattern is so beautiful and certainly breezy. I am always on the look out for those breezy patterns that are suitable for TX temps

[@michellebekkers7822]

I love this pattern! It is so feminine and yet romantic! My first attempt with lace weight was to make my daughter a shawl for her wedding. It also required beads. I really enjoy making lace shawls with beads. I can hardly wait to make this amazing shawl!

[@audreycastelton2655]

Omgoodness- how shiny, beautiful and gorgeous is the lace Alpaca yarn 🥰 Never used lace before. Already downloaded pattern to make for myself. With Christmas and also a work colleague having a baby girl I have been busy knitting and crocheting for others. I'm going to try adding the beads aswell ❤ Thank you for sharing

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're so welcome 💞

[@francesbrooks588]

The colors are lovely! I haven't yet worked with lace yarn but you make it look so inviting. Beautiful pattern!

[@janicpanny]

Love that ruffly edge. I’ve crocheted with #10 thread, but not specifically lace weight yarn yet. I really like the delicate look of the fabric it makes!

[@msstaceyf]

I love lightweight yarn, it’s my favourite. I can’t wait to make this wrap!

[@lindalewis9829]

Oh my 😯 stunning! ❤ I have never worked with lace weight but for this pattern I am sure to give it a go!

[@kimhoover9827]

Another beautiful shawl. I have never worked with lace weight yarn because I am intimidated by how long a project using lace weight yarn will take to complete. This pattern however, definitely has me changing my mind. Thank you for sharing.

[@waltons-crochet]

Good day beautiful lady. This is a gorgeous stitch tutorial. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@victorialove9104]

This is so gorgeous! I have never worked with lace weight yarn. This is so perfect for Florida so I think I must try this.❤

[@theMermaidRhonda]

This is such a beautiful wrap! So simple yet so elegant. I love it! I have crocheted with lace weight yarn and I absolutely love it! I got into using it during the pandemic and I fell in love with the drape of it.

[@nadiab.9831]

Lovely pattern! I have never crocheted with lace before, or with Alpaca. It would also be my first time adding beads into my work. I would definitely love to give a try to all these 'firsts' with this pretty pattern (LOVE ruffles!). All I need is the yarn 😁

[@stitcht78]

This is absolutely stunning! I love it! I've never worked with lace-weight yarn before, it's kind of intimidating to me, honestly!

[@threedm2]

This pattern is so beautiful and uet simplistic. Love it! Using Alpaca Silk Lace, which happens to be one of my favorites, makes me want to drop every project I am currently working on and work on it! Thanks, Chandi!!! 😅

[@mamastamps]

This is truly beautiful with such simple stitches and repeats! The beads are very hard to see in photos so I sort of wish you had shown them close up in the video but that’s ok I’ll just have to try it and see for myself ❤ Thank you as always and I’ll see you next week!

[@jthankful]

This colorway is Sumptuous! I have NEVER worked with silk; however, I think these colors would make it a pleasure 💐 Have a glorious day Chandi!!! Thank you Janet Pippin 😊

[@karensmith8404]

Absolutely elegant love it. Never worked with that yarn before but would love to. Love your patters 🙏🏼❤️

[@ravenlunatic1177]

I’ve never worked with lace weight to make anything like a shawl. I have worked with crochet thread #10 to make some christening gowns and decorative doilies. I’ve never worked with silk or alpaca. It sounds like it’s an amazing combination. I absolutely love the color ways. The shine of the yarn is just exquisite! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from FL😺

[@jenasencio6555]

I have never had the money to even try any of your yarn and this would be a perfect start for me I pray I win it will be such a blessing

[@sharongodbout3275]

Your yarn is scrumptious! Love the colors.....sooo....creamy! I started out with a crochet mini afghan in my youth... after that it was lace doilies all the way for a long time.... great fun... For probably the last twenty years I have been using much larger weight yarn simply because my eyes don't like the lace anymore but oh my how beautiful lace doilies, shawls and table cloths are especially when made from the heart!

[@debbiepower3844]

I really look forward to Fridays and your free patterns! I've worked with lace weight yarn and thread. This is, as usual, beautiful!

[@magdalenaprokop4913]

What a beautiful shawl!❤ Some day I have to try making something with such delicate yarns. I tend to choose bulkier ones and make warm comfy projects for winter.

[@JoanPadley]

I haven't worked with this silky type of yarn and I'm looking forward to doing so! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@emmaroundy8195]

I have never worked with lace yarn but you make it look easy! Your shawl is beautiful.

[@renaweatherspoon6710]

Hi Chandi. Your tutorials are always so great. I love the look of this shawl. Although I have never worked with a lightweight yarn, I would love the opportunity to make this shawl. The drape is so nice.

[@nita_bee]

This is a beautiful treat for a rainy Friday, making me daydream about Jane Austen characters having a picnic ❤ I've worked with lace weight mohair held double, but the thinnest single stand I've used was sport weight. This yarn is so elegant with those beautiful hues and shimmer 😊

[@shereecarey2021]

Wow! Gorgeous shawl this pattern is! I have worked with fingerling weight yarn before. It always seems magical to me when I'm working with the yarn.

[@angiekoukouvanis2333]

The shawl and the yarn is beautiful that it is made with. I have never worked with such beautiful yarn.

[@carriejcrochet]

This is a beautiful shawl scarf and the color is amazing. I've only worked with lace weight yarn paired with another yarn but this is inspiring me to try to work it by itself.

[@josephinepreddy3451]

Sooo pretty! I've worked with lace weight yarn but haven't bought any in a long time. Need to save $. The alpaca silk lace looks so scrumptious 😊❤

[@kayewelden5809]

I have never worked with lace weight or silk yarn before. The drape and color of the shawl is so gorgeous!
