The designs of Susanna IC are simply wonderful and we continue to have a marvelous time putting together yarn and beads for them so we could offer them in kit form.
The pattern here is called Icicles and you can read more about it on its particular web page. It is a strikingly lovely shawl -- and all it requires is 450 yards of lace or fingering weight yarn. Plus Susanna recommends about 560 size 6/0 beads, to create a most unique piece.

We just restocked some lovely silver grey Mohair Silk from Pura Bella. It is a lovely light grey that mirrors the original yarn that Susanna first used for this beauty.
This yarn feels absolutely delightful. It is a wonderfully soft 60% kid mohair with 40% silk, with each 25 gram skeins having 340 yards to it ( a bit more than 300 meters, to those of us not metrically challenged). So two skeins are needed for this beauty and will be included in each kit.
The beads we like for this pattern and yarn combination are Silver Lined Crystal in the off-center tear-drop-ness of 4mm Megatama plus a small quantity of the long 4x7mm megatamas.
Take a look at MRPP's piece as shown on her project page in Ravelry . It is her idea to use the long megatamas along the edgings -- and it looks amazing. She explains how she did it on her project page. So we are going to include enough so you can duplicate that look.
Stunning!
A look of icicles melting in the sun -- or maybe little dew drops on a beautiful lattice.
I love it.

Each kit consists of two skeins of yarn, the pattern, and enough beads to complete the shawl.
Truly beautiful
