Notes

I’d definitely go up a needle size if I do this again, my gauge was just a smidge too tight, but I did like the fabric on the 5.0mm!

What yarn did you use? How much yarn did you use (grams or yards)?

Cascade 220 (100% wool, col. N8400) Skein 1 (105g) Skein 2 (105g) Skein 3 (105g) = Total 315g before beginning.
Yarn left at the end: 48g
Total yarn amount used: 267g

What size needle did you use, and did you get gauge?

US 8/5.0mm metal Chiaogoo brushed stainless steel.
Achieved blocked gauge, however edge stitches were slightly too tight to stretch to 74” across

What size did you knit, and what are the finished dimensions of your project (wingspan/depth for a shawl, height/width for other projects)?

Single colour shawl, one size as per the pattern.
Wingspan: approx. 70-72”
Depth: 23” deep (easily would have stretched deeper but I was aiming for the suggested dimensions)
