Substitution Notes

A smooth, fingering weight yarn most blends would be suitable.

Get creative with the two balls of gradient yarn. With two balls of the same colourway, alternate every two rows to create wider sections of colour or join the balls end to end to match the same colour in the middle of the project. One ball will be worked from the inside and the other from the outside, with the shawl beginning and ending with the same colour. With two separate colourways, as in the sample shawl, choose balls that share a common colour on the inside or outside of the ball so the join is not noticeable in the colour progression.

Choose two gradient packs of mini-skeins or a solid with one set of mini-skeins. This design is very versatile.
