When it comes to yarn, you'll need the following materials: for the main color (MC), you'll require 200 grams (800 yards / 732 meters) of a lovely white yarn. For color choices, gather 10 grams (40 yards / 37 meters) of teal (C1), 15 grams (60 yards / 55 meters) of pink (C2), 25 grams (100 yards / 91 meters) of purple (C3), 30 grams (136 yards / 124 meters) of gold (C4), and 75 grams (300 yards / 274 meters) of rich burgundy (C5). This vibrant palette allows you to mix and match, creating a one-of-a-kind shawl that reflects your personal style.
To ensure the perfect fit, you will need US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles, ideally 32 inches (80 cm) or longer. Additionally, don't forget essential notions such as a tapestry needle, stitch markers, and scissors to aid in your crafting journey.
