I have worked with Handmaiden yarns and they are great. Also Findley by Juniper Moon Farms is nice. But if you are looking for a similar color, a hand-dyed would give you the golds and greens that were in the original. Malabrigo Lace is a wonderful yarn and has some similar colorways to the original. The secret to the drape is to make sure to block the lace hard (wash it and stretch it out as far as you can with blocking wires). That not only gives it the drape, but opens up the pattern as well. <br /><br />Good luck and I would love to see it if you decide to knit it up. <br /><br />virginiaVirginia Catherallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10401694764861162157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557108415401196276.post-33264504075934898052015-12-29T07:07:07.334-08:002015-12-29T07:07:07.334-08:00So glad to have discovered your knitting that evok...So glad to have discovered your knitting that evokes nature so precisely and beautifully!
