Sangatsu Shawl Yarn Kit
Eri has done it again with her gorgeous Sangatsu Shawl design. Choose any two contrasting colours from the Nomad Noos High mountain Yak or Dry desert camel light fingering range to create your own version of this stunning shawl.
Sangatsu - March in Japanese - is a narrow triangle shawl. It is worked sideways, starting from one edge and in the colourwork pattern, to the other edge. Tassels can then be attached to both ends, if desired.
The yarn used for the shawl is a hand-spun yarn that may vary in length. If you choose to knit the larger size, then you may find that 1 skein in each colour may not be enough. I recommend you weigh how much yarn is left at the half way point to ensure you have enough to complete the project.
