The shawl size (modelled by our beige sample) blocks to an impressive measurement of 200 cm / 80 inches wide by 65 cm / 26 inches deep. This larger size requires approximately 700 meters / 758 yards of yarn. Our sample was lovingly crafted using 2 skeins of Desert Bloom Luxury yarn in the captivating colorway Sand Dollar Cactus and was knitted on a 3.5 mm / US 4 needle, ensuring a delicate and airy feel.

The scarf size (pictured in a vibrant purple sample) blocks out to 135 cm / 54 inches wide by 42.5 cm / 17 inches deep. This smaller size needs approximately 380 meters / 412 yards of yarn.
