Fall colours

This is the only yarn I have in my stash that is the right weight for the next mystery shawl. The theme for the shawl is "fall". I do not think this is a very "fall" colour. It is the colour "root" from Peace Fleece. So.....
I started experimenting by combining different lace weight yarns I have.
This is two strands of brown alpaca and one strand of Zepher Copper.

This is one strand of brown alpaca and one strand of Zepher copper and one strand of Zepher Curry.
This is two strands of Zepher Copper and one strand of Zepher Curry.

The softest ofthese is the three strands of Zepher and as you add more alpaca it gets rougher. These were all knit on a size 5.5mm needle.

The mystery shawl starts on September 15 so I have to decide soon.
