@tracedw did me a beautiful shawlette for a craft swap in a navy and oatmeal/ beige trim, I think it was in cascade yarn? the navy is a semi solid and is just beautiful, it has a lustre to it and looks great with jeans, is kinda neutral really.

I think two semi-solids would like lovely, you could do navy blue with a khaki trim. Either that or the light/dark denim blues in the third and fourth photos on the pattern page looks lovely.

You could always get customs made in whater colours you chose.

Thanks for that - I've seen quite a few people mention cascade yarns, but I've never really looked at them so will have a good nose! :D

Thanks for that - the shawl is stunning, and the colours would definitely go with jeans. Gives me some ideas. :D
