This pattern is great for any yarn that has long color repeats or a gradient yarn. I originally designed it as a great way to show off your handspun because you can simply knit until you run out of yarn.

The handspun in the picture was spun to have increasingly longer color repeats so the stripes would be maintained in the shawl as the rows got longer.
