YARN:

For the Melonwater shawl, we recommend using John Arbon Textiles Devonia 4-ply yarn or any other 4-ply/fingering weight yarn that inspires you. The sample shown showcases elegant shades of Sage Sprig and Broken Flower, which beautifully highlight the pattern. While the original yarn gives a specific look, experimenting with other weights of yarn is absolutely possible; just keep in mind that the yardage requirements may vary.

YARDAGE:

The total yardage needed for your Melonwater Shawl is approximately 776m/848 yards for Yarn A and 280m/306 yards for Yarn B. It's essential to note that using a different type of yarn may impact the total yardage required, so plan accordingly!

While gauge is not crucial, a different stitch tension will result in a varied finished size and could affect the amount of yarn needed. For reference, the sample gauge was achieved with:

28 stitches and 37 rows per 10cm / 4” in stocking stitch with the charming purl ridges pattern.
