The Yin Yarn Shawl is a soft, squishy rectangular wrap measuring 50 x 190 cm, designed in luxurious worsted weight merino wool. Its beauty lies in its fully reversible design where each side reveals a completely different character: one rich with flowing cables, the other a modern, textured pattern. The stitchwork combines simple 2-stitch cables with knit and purl stitches, making it a relaxing yet engaging project for adventurous beginners as well as seasoned knitters. Elegant, versatile, and warm, this shawl is perfect for wrapping yourself in comfort while showcasing two stunning looks in one piece.
