This shawl is a one skein wonder. This isn't a project that you can whip out in an afternoon, the size means that it will take some time. But once you get the hang of it you can spend that time catching up on The Walking Dead as your shawl gradually grows. It's perfect for that special skein of yarn that you've been saving for a special occasion. My one used every last bit of the 225m hand-dyed merino.

This shawl is a one skein wonder. This isn't a project that you can whip out in an afternoon, the size means that it will take some time. But once you get the hang of it you can spend that time catching up on The Walking Dead as your shawl gradually grows. It's perfect for that special skein of yarn that you've been saving for a special occasion. My one used every last bit of the 225m hand-dyed merino.
