DETAILS
What are your must-have’s for a comfort knit? Mine are always squishy yarn combined with something that has areas of relaxing rhythm (hello Garter, my old friend) to balance out sections of deeper thinking (Brioche - buddy!) or interest (Nupps, anyone?). This shawl brings it all together with simple sideways shaping that creates a very easy-to-wear shawl. I hope you love it!

YARN REQUIREMENTS
These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on the yarn you use (fiber content, ply, etc.), your personal gauge, and any modifications you may make.

Worsted Weight Wool - Approximately 300 g/750 yds/690 m

SUGGESTED YARN
For this shawl I chose a Corriedale worsted weight yarn that creates an incredibly squishy and generously sized shawl to wrap up in! (While I only used 3 skeins for my shawl, I used it all! To be on the safe side, you may want to consider going with 4 to avoid playing any games of yarn chicken. I chat about how to adapt the size of the shawl to how much yarn you have in the notes of the pattern.)
