- Smooth, contrasting thread or thin yarn for holders 6 yd (5.5 m) length of strong wool for blocking triangle hap, or 7 yd (6.5 m) for blocking square shawl
Finished Size:
Triangle hap: About 48” (121.9 cm) along each short side and 68” (172.7 cm) along top edge, after blocking.
Square hap: About 48” (121.9 cm) square, after blocking
