This project has been on the list for a while. I chose a lace pattern called Kodama http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kodama-2 that I thought would work for painting. The yarn used is Zola from Treenway Silks. The shawl was knit and then mordanted with 20% potassium aluminum sulphate. It was blocked after mordanting and then painted with dye extracts. I debated about using a thickener and then chose not to but painted the shawl wet to minimize the transfer of color from one section to the next. Colors used: logwood, madder, Osage orange, carribean. The shawl was steamed after painting and then rinsed.
