Hi, Carolynne Anne! So glad you joined us and I'm the Prayer Shawl Lady! First, let me say that you have joned a wonderful group of people. You will get all the help you need right here. If we don't know something, we'll help you find it.

Now, with that said. Let's see if I can help you with a light-weight Shawl for California. Here's what I found. All the shawls can be made in the different yarns or the heavier crochet yarns (size 3) is good. The best, I would say though, is Lily Sugar'n Cream. Here's their Website: Lily: Home There you can see all the "yarn" as they call it. They have lots of multi-colors, free patterns, different weights, and scented yarn. I don't kow if they have any shawl patterns but you can look and see. If you don't find something you like, let me know. I have lots of patterns. Hope this helps.
