CAPRI shawl is an assymectrial shawl with light 3D accents.

The light fingering yarn are held together so it corresponds approx. a dk weight yarn (as used in the second variant with Fiberpassion Silky Merino dk).
We recommend to use yarns with silk and/or alpaca, so that the long shawl doesn’t become to heavy.

CAPRI shawl is a great stash buster, as you can use for contrast colors different qualities and colors from your stash.
For the main color you can use a 4-fade (Variant I) or only one main color (Variant II).
By using light fingering weight yarn and held them together, you can create a smooth gradient in your fade.
