Details
Designed to debut our very first line of hand-dyed superwash DK merino, the Firefall Shawl is a celebration of all things colorful. Using rich, autumn hues, the shawl combines four tonal yarns using slipstitch colorwork techniques. It is worked flat and increased along one edge to form an elongated triangle, and it features I-cord edges and an I-cord bind-off.

Yarn & Approximate Yardage
Grey Cap Knits Superwash DK Merino
100% SW DK Merino (4-Ply)
213 yds (195 m) / 100g

C1: Candy Apple | 1 skein | approx. 105g (224 yds)
C2: First Harvest | 1 skein | approx. 81g (173 yds)
C3: Maple Roasted Squash | 1 skein | approx. 86g (184 yds)
C4: Green-Winged Teal | 1 skein | approx. 102g (218 yds)

Note: Only one 100g skein was used for each colorway. All skeins weighed in a little over 100g, and for C1 and C4, almost all of the skein was used. If using a different yarn brand, you may require more than 1 skein for C1 and C4. Also, if your gauge is significantly looser than the suggested gauge, you may require additional yarn.
