Elegant and refined, Fino combines the softness of merino wool with the luster of silk in a lightweight yarn that’s perfect for heirloom accessories or luxurious garments. Fino features a new dye process that yields complex, subtle, tonal colors.
We recommend buying enough yarn to complete a project. To give an overall blended effect, knit two rows from one skein and then two rows from another.

Shawl Pattern is: The Frank Shawl by Jojo Locatelli ($7.25CAD on Ravelry) The Frank Shawl is a hot pattern right now. Created with 4 skeins of fingering weight yarn. It's unique construction lets it drape to the front. More like a cardigan, without you having to position it all the time. You can also wear it like a traditional scarf or shawl as well. We suggest Herriot Fine, Light Sock (shown here) or Merino Slim . Or a combination of 2 or more. Please remember that Herriot fine has alpaca in it. While soft it does have a slight halo.
If you are at all a loose knitter Joji suggests you purchase an additional skein of Colour #1 (where the rust colour is in her sample)
Cowl pattern is: Cozy Days Cowl
2nd Shawl Pattern is: Bronte Sister Shawl
