Question about Misti Alpaca Laceweight


Hi everyone. Here's my Swallowtail in progress, along with a couple of other things. It is coming along nicely--a very pleasant stitch pattern to knit.

For those of you who have used the Misti Alpaca Laceweight, or a similar yarn: do you feel there's enough in the skein to increase the number of repeats without running out of yarn? I'm trying to decide if I should follow the pattern as written or try making a larger shawl. But I only have one skein.

Thanks for your thoughts on this!

  • I have just started mine using Misti Alpaca, but I have no idea if is possible to make larger one with just one skein. Love the colour.

  • What is that other gorgeous project you have there? I love the colors you are using!

  • The other (red) project is a zig-zag lace scarf using Kidlin Pixie. It's a line/mohair laceweight that my One Skein Sp sent me.

  • I just finished my swallowtail using misti alpaca and had a little less than a half ounce left over. So you could probably add a few more repeats to the first chart (I read someone did 19 repeats but I'm not sure what yarn they used.)
