If you prefer, you can also choose variegated DK weight yarn in three complementary colors, with each skein also providing a length of 298m (326 yds).
Recommended Needles: To accommodate the number of stitches, we suggest using a 4.5mm circular knitting needle that is 120cm long, ensuring comfort and ease as you work through your project.
Notions Needed: Don't forget to have a blunt tapestry needle on hand for weaving in the ends and ensuring a polished finish to your shawl.
