Yarn Information: For this eye-catching shawl, we recommend using Malabrigo Mechita, a luxurious yarn made of 100% Superwash Merino with 420 yards (385 m) per 100 g (3.5 oz) skein. You will need 1 skein each in two contrasting colors: Color 1 (C1) should be a tonal shade, while Color 2 (C2) can be a captivating multi-tone hue. Alternatively, you can use Fingering weight yarn in two colors, approximately 380 yards (350 m) for C1 and 220 yards (200 m) for C2.
The sample shawl is beautifully displayed in Water Green (a stunning turquoise for C1) and Arco Iris (a vibrant multicolor for C2), perfectly showcasing the intricate designs and colors.
