The shawl requires approximately 1000 yards of yarn of any heavy-ish fingering weight yarn (6 - 6 1/2 sts/inch) making it both a perfect warm lacy shawl for the fall. The stitches are both charted and written out line by line. Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting).
