Yarn Options: This pattern provides versatility by recommending two high-quality yarns: Natural Star 4ply Sock yarn, which is a blend of 80% New Zealand Superwash Merino and 20% nylon, offering both durability and softness (357m/390yd per 100g), or the luxurious Natural Star SW 100% Merino 4ply (also 357m/390yd per 100g). To create the main color (MC) and contrasting color (C1), you will need:
- 1 x 357m/390yd 100g skein for the MC
- 1 x 357m/390yd 100g skein for the C1
- 1 x 25g (89m/97yd) skein for C2 (if desired).
Note: If you prefer to create a two-color shawl, simply double the quantity of your yarn with 2 x 100g skeins.
For another delightful option, consider using Meraki Studio NZ Fern Sock yarn, which features a blend of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% nylon, providing an exceptional 423m per 100g skein. You will require:
- 1 x 423m/462yd 100g skein for the MC
- 1 x 423m/462yd 100g skein for C1.
Materials Required: To complete your stunning shawl, gather the following materials: a 4mm 80cm circular needle, a wool needle for sewing in ends, and blocking pins to help shape and perfect your finished project.
Tension (Gauge): Achieve a tension of 24 stitches and 48 rows per 10cm/4 inches over garter stitch in an unblocked state using 4mm needles. While gauge is important for some projects, it is not crucial for this shawl, allowing for flexibility in your knitting experience.
