Sara crochets a Rainboom MAL
Sara couldn't resist picking up a playful box of Scheepjes Stone Washed and River Washed cutie pie mini balls when she saw the new Rainboom MAL by Miss Neriss. This project is called a Make A Long (MAL) by Scheepjes, to be a project that everyone can work on together and share their progress as they go. Share your progress in the Official Scheepjes Facebook group.The box has recently been revamped with 8 new shades added. There are now a total of 58 mini 10g balls in the pack to enjoy. The Rainboom shawl by Miss Neriss is made using every single ball in the pack, complete with a mesmerising fringe using all of the left over pieces.
Watch Sara talking in the video below about starting the crocheted shawl.
Take a peek at the beginning of Sara's Rainboom MAL shawl. The way the shawl is worked, going through all of the shades is just so pleasing on the eye.
Sara has now completed the shawl and is chatting about her progress in the video below.
Sara's top tip for making the fringing is to wrap the yarn around the Scheepjes box the mini balls came in. This is approximately 35cm tall and the fringe needs to be between 30cm and 40cm. It is a good way of getting all of your fringe the same length all in one go.
Here it is, the finished Scheepjes Rainboom shawl by Miss Neriss. Watch Sara as she works out different ways to wear this fabulous shawl!
Take a closer look at the shawl below. It really is a rainbow of colour.
