Brushability is all about the yarn and allowing it to shine! Brushed cashmere has been everywhere in ready-to-wear pieces, so why not join in the fun? Knit in Moondrake Fuwa Fuwa, Brushability is a dream to knit! It’s so soft, so cuddly, and absolutely luxurious! The shawl’s optional brushed finishing elevates it to the next level, enhancing its softness and texture. Strategic shaping creates this shawl’s unique triangle silhouette, making it an ideal transitional shawl, effortlessly draping for warmth and style.

CONSTRUCTION
Shawl is CO and worked sideways from end to end (or from tip to tip).

YARN REQUIREMENTS
Please note these are yarn estimates. The amount used will depend on yarn, your personal gauge, and any modifications you make.

NOTE: Yardage is not padded as this shawl is meant to use the entire 4 skeins listed. While sample shown was knit using Fuwa Fuwa held double, a single strand of Fuwa Fuwa Sport works equally well as a substitute. Therefore, I have provided yardage information for both. Please see Pattern Notes for more information.
