This shawl is the same pattern as the summer shawl (so don’t buy both!) The only difference is it is knit on a #13 needle and uses 3 strands of yarn. We used one strand of Filatura di Crosa, Superior and two strands of Koigu, Kpppm. The superior gives the shawl a wonderful, luscious softness. It is a great wrap to make you cozy in the winter months. Also, it makes a great gift - it is easy and fast to knit but looks great and feels like a million bucks!
