CONSTRUCTION
We think Caravan has the perfect yarn structure and fiber composition to highlight the character of the Mayhem shawl. The firm twist ensures your texture pops while the luxury fibers provide the drape to enhance the billowy border. Though the shawl pattern includes directions for two weights of yarn our kit uses the directions for the 4-ply shawl. Find out more about our experience knitting Mayhem on our BLOG.
