Announcing the Mystic Roses Lace Shawl knitalong!

Mystic Roses is a triangular shawl inspired by roses of every hue.

The finished height is approximately 134 cm (52”), and the wingspan is 268 cm (105″).

My shawl is knit on 3.75 mm needles, using Wollmeise Lace-Garn yarn (530 m/580 yds per 100 g) in the Rosenrot colourway.
The shawl uses one 300g skein (approx 1,590 m / 1,740 yds).

As always, yarn substitutions are encouraged.
My actual yarn consumption was approx 1,450 m (1,570 yds).
Any lace-weight or light fingering weight yarn will work. Some suggestions are JaggerSpun Zephyr, Malabrigo, Misti Alpaca Lace, Yarntopia Treasures 5/2 Egyptian Cotton or 5/2 Tencel, or Cottage Craft Angora 2-ply lace yarns.
