An important note about color choices: This shawl was designed to make use of Shepherd’s Shades unique 3-color gradients. Knitters can choose for their shawl to progress from light to dark (color A is light, color B is medium, color C is dark) or dark to light (color A is dark, color B is medium, color C is light). Be mindful of your color progression preference when choosing a kit, and also if you decide to build your own color gradient for the shawl.
