The Rainy Day Shawl was designed for mohair yarn, but could be made using any kind of wool/wool blend yarn, or why not try your favorite sock yarn? The Estonian stitches work equally well with lace yarn and heavier weight yarn, but lighter colours and solid or semi solid colours are to be preferred, as they show both lace design and nupps better than darker colours and variegated yarn.

Yarn used
