The Sunbeam Shawl brings together three contrasting colors of luxurious Fonty Ombelle to create dynamic stripes in a warm gradient pattern. By holding two strands of yarn together throughout, the stripes transition from solid to marled and back again. The all-over Herringbone stitch adds rich texture and visual interest, and the yarn provides a cloudlike halo to this sumptuously soft and generously sized shawl.
