Night Walker was designed with a fingering weight yarn that is 75% super wash merino and 25% nylon. It uses 3 colors for a fade, start with the darker color first preferably, than fade into a lighter color that will have hints of your 1st and 3rd color. Your third color should be bright and vibrant. This shawl can be made in one color or in an ombre yarn.

This shawl naturally curls, for best results, wet block or steam block afterwards with T-pins to help shape your finished shawl while it dries. You will find instructions on how I blocked in the finishing section at the end of the pattern.
