An embrasure is a small opening in a parapet of a fortified building. I had castle walls in mind as I created this cozy shawl, which can warm your shoulders in a chilly office, and is ideal for wearing as a large kerchief with winter coats to guard against chilly necks.
This shawl was created to use one skein of 300 yard DK-weight yarn, specifically the 70% alpaca, 30% merino that Belfast Mini Mills developed specifically for Good Fibrations.
There is also information in the pattern if you happen to be using Kid Silk from Good Fibrations which is 350 meters of Sport-weight yarn.
Additionally, there is also information in the pattern if you happen to be using Angel Mist from Good Fibrations which is 500 meters of DK-weight yarn.
