This pattern uses any sock yarn! I used a hand dyed sock yarn I purchased from a fiber festival. One test knitter used Tanis Fiber Arts Blue Label Fingering Weight in Orchid. The second used Sweet Georgia Cashluxe Fine also in Orchid.

You can make it as wide as you want. My finished shawl has 42 scales, others have between 30 and 40. I wanted to use every inch of my yarn.

Finished size: depends on how many scales (repeats) you make! Mine is 72” long and 10” wide. The Orchid one is 70” long and 8” wide.
