Yes we do have Wollmeise yarn! We are not allowed to sell it online, so you will have to see it at the festivals we attend.
It is such a beautiful and strong yarn, that we decided to make up a shawl pattern for it.
You can read it here, or download it from Ravelry
Enjoy!

Section 4: Second Lace Panel:
use colour B
You should have around 60 stitches on each side of marker. Pattern repeats are 7 stitches each, so If you want your lace panel to end with a lace hole aligned with the centre YO, you can count back from centre marker 1 sts plus multiples of 7 and start your repeat there.
Row 1 (RS): K2, YO, K1, place marker, *k5, k2tog, yo*; repeat from * until 1 sts before marker (your last YO should be where we normally have a YO in this row along the spine), k1, sm, k1, *yo, ssk, k5*; repeat from * across, ending with, k1, yo, k2.
Row 2 and all WS rows: purl across

Row 5: K2, YO, K1, move marker back 1 st to this spot, start pattern from here (1 st earlier than previous position), *k5, k2tog, yo*; repeat from * until 6sts before marker, k5, yo, k1, sm, k1, yo, k5 *yo, ssk, k5*; repeat from * across, ending with, k1, yo, k2.

Row 10: Purl across.
Repeat rows 9 and 10 x3 more times (this will be rows 11 to 16).
Now repeat rows 1 and 2 of this section in Colour A.

Repeat rows 1-2 again in colour A, then B, then A again (now done row 26).

For rows 31-42 repeat rows 1-2 in: Colour A, then B, then A, then B, then A, then A again.
Now bind off in a stretchy bind off of your liking, or use a needle one size larger in a regular bindoff to allow for more of a stretchy edge.
Block and wear with pizazz!
