Cinnabar pattern by Drea Renee Knits

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: Wingspan – 74”/188 cm | Deepest Depth – 32”/81 cm

YARN REQUIREMENTS:

• MC – DK Weight Wool 200 g/800 yds/732 m
• CC – Sport Weight Wool 150 g/600 yds/549 m

Using two different weights of yarn adds even more texture to this shawl. I kept my MC neutral and used my CC to play with color. Anything from another solid, to gradient sets or even stash scraps would be great! You are looking for a flowy fabric with nice drape. I recommend yarns with some bounce back (wool, for example) to help keep the brioche from stretching out too much. The best way to know if your yarn choice will work is to do a swatch and wet block it! If you like the drape and feel, then go for it!
