You can use any of the Merino Cloud Gradient packs for this shawl. It was designed using the custom Great Lakes colorway., There are 2 other color options in that family of colors: Grand Canyon and Painted Desert, which contain 2 solids and 2 speckled/multi yarns. These combinations are currently exclusive to yarn.com and can be purchased through the link here:

This shawl is wide and deep and wraps around nicely. The color changes are interrupted by fun lace and cable patterns, and the knitting is never boring.

Short rows are applied toward the end, to make the shawl yet deeper, and give it more of a crescent curve. It’s a really great way to use these luscious gradients, and this garment would look good in any of them.
