The shawl uses lightweight DK alpaca yarn spun from the fleece of alpacas from UK farms. It's knitted as a flat panel, and you can choose either single pointed needles or circular needles, which can be helpful, just because it's a wide project and circulars hold the knitting easily.

This shawl is part of our popular Restful range, which is intended for stress-free easy knitting that means you can focus on the conversation, the movie or just whatever you need to be thinking about. Each pattern is simple to work with, and has been tested on beginners, rusty knitters, and the very accomplished.
