The Yarn Therapist: Self-striping Shawl Yarn Cakes
Self Striping Shawl Yarn
These fingering weight, 150 gram / 600 yard cakes, were dyed for shawls in mind. Spend less time weaving in ends, choosing and buying several colours. The Yarn Therapist has done all the math for you, the long colour transitions will add effortless interest to your project and are perfect for crescent, triangle, pi, or most any top down shaped shawls.
Great for both knit and crochet shawls, these happy cakes are their own complete project.
Please note the different yarn content of each colour way.
