There was this German fairy tale, and two skeins in my stash that seemed a wonderful combination for a shawl ...
The Blautopf is a karst spring in Southern Germany, widely known for its peculiar blue water. A beautiful mermaid named Lau is said to have lived therein, who on rare occasions showed herself above the water with a wreath of leaves on her braided hair.
She suffered from an unexplicable sadness that kept her in solitude for a long time. Only when the mermaid befriended the people of the nearby village and began to spend time in the company of humans, she eventually learned to laugh. The spell was broken!
Lau left the Blautopf, but the generous farewell gifts she gave to her friends continued forever to bring them luck and prosperity.
