Mam tieto dve vlnky (merino/bambus/hodvab z obchodu) a chcela by som zacat tentok Aeolian salik. Neviem sa ale rozhodnut, ktoru vlnku pouzit s tymito goralkami, ktore som kupila v corkskom obchode s potrebami pre sikovne ruky rozneho druhu. Moznoze ani jedna vlnka sa nehodi... musim ist kupit viac goralok.
first option
second option
I think I like the paler yarn with the beads more, but then I like the darker yarn more, I think... decisions, decisions
Myslim, ze sa mi paci ta svetlejsia vlnka viac s tymi goralkami, ale zas na druhu stranu sa mi viac paci ta tmavsia vlnka...

Anyway,
this is a yarn I have on my spinning wheel at the moment, it's a Hedgehog Fibres batt, 30% silk, 70% merino and sparkly angelina fibre. Single ply lace weight, again. I think it shows off the colours the best.
Tutok vlnku teraz pradiem na kolovratku, je to Hedgehog Fibres batt, da sa zohnat v mojom obchode. 30% silk, 70% merino a vela ligotavej angeliny. Jednovrstvova a tenka, myslim, ze tak najviac vyniknu farby.

that sparkly purplely orange is amazing.
Personally i like the variation in option 2, but option one looks better with the beads. but that's just me
exactly, thank you! More bead shopping tomorrow.... to match option 2
Both are lovely, lovely yarns (and that handspun from your batts is GORGEOUS!). You have a tough decision ahead of you, but, if I may put in my comments ...
The finished and in process Aeolian Shawls I've seen on Ravelry come in a wide variety of colours, weights and yarn/bead combinations. What do you want from the beads?
If you're looking for subtle highlights, the first combination is best (similarly coloured yarn and beads). But if you want your beads to pop and really show up a bit more, contrast is the way to go. The dark yarn may provide that a bit better. But you might even be better off with a totally different bead colour all together, like maybe a copper lined crystal, or metallic beads.
If you're on Ravelry, there is a group for the Aeolian Shawl Knit-Along, and there are a bunch of great photos plus tips and discussions. Come find us! We're cranking out the Aeolian shawls left, right and center. And they're lovely. Really, really lovely.

Thank you for great suggestions ThatLoganChick! I'll chceck out the knit-along.
lovely fibre and yarn! I had planned to do the Aeolian too - but now that I see how many people knit or want to knit this, I have changed my mind. somehow imagining so many people with the same shawl puts me off:))
Lovely, I like option 1!
I must admit I like both options, but I'm wondering whether the beads will stand out better with the option 2 yarn? (whatever, both colours are stunning!)
I'm hoping to get started on Aeolian very soon - I have no idea yet about yarn or beads!
wow, both yarns are gorgeous. but I can particularly see the paler yarn being a beautiful AND versatile shawl.
I think I'll go with paler yarn, it has less variegation and that will make the lace stand out better, I think.
Thank you for great opinions!
