Finished Measurements: Once blocked, the shawl boasts a generous wingspan of 75" (190 cm) and a depth of 15" (38 cm), making it perfect for draping over your shoulders or wrapping around for extra warmth.
Yarn Requirements: For this project, we recommend using Miss Babs Yummy 3-ply yarn, which is crafted from 100% superwash merino wool. With a total yardage of 335 yards (150g), you will need the following amounts: Main Color (MC) - Pali (a beautiful green) - 300 yards (275 m) and Contrasting Color (CC) - Igneous (an elegant gray) - 250 yards (230 m). This combination of colors results in a striking visual effect that beautifully complements the shawl's intricate patterns.
Needles: You will need a US size 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle, preferably 32" or longer. While gauge is not crucial for this project, maintaining consistent tension will affect the finished size and the total amount of yarn required.
Notions: Optional stitch markers can help keep track of your stitches and pattern repeats, while a yarn needle is essential for weaving in ends and finishing your shawl beautifully.
