Fleeting Embrace Shawl

The Fleeting Embrace Shawl is a lightweight colorwork shawl with a small accent of lacework perfect for cool summer nights or those days where you need a little something extra. Knit in Fingering weight yarn, this shawl comes in two optional sizes: the regular size shawl which uses one full skein as the Main Color and 7 20g mini skeins for the contrast colors, and then a smaller version perfect for stash busting which needs only 50g for the main color and 10-15g for each of the contrast colors (Color 6 and 7 will use the most). This is perfect for those leftover yarn advents or the stash of minis you have tucked away! So whether you decide to go with solid colors, a variegated fade, or an eclectic mix, this shawl will be a fun and cozy go-to that knits up in a flash.
