Yarn Details: This pattern uses Loft by Brooklyn Tweed, a luxurious yarn made from 100% Targhee-Columbia wool. Each skein offers 275 yards [251 m] in a 50 g package. For this project, you will need:

Needles: To create this beautiful shawl, you will need a circular needle measuring either 32” or 40” in size US 5 [3.75mm]. This size is recommended to ensure you can accommodate the large number of stitches involved in the pattern. Note that the body of the shawl will be worked flat, making a circular needle ideal for managing your project efficiently.
Gauge: To ensure your shawl turns out perfect, maintain a gauge of 24 stitches and 38 rows, which equals 4” [10 cm] in stockinette stitch.
Required Skills: This shawl pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters and requires skills such as knitting flat, increasing, decreasing, and working lace on both the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS).
