Antonia Shawl by Vanessa Coscarelli Black

Craft: Knitting

Picture yourself at the movies or next to a cozy fire wrapped in this stunning black & white shawl. The Antonia Shawl by Vanessa Coscarelli Black is a simple, fast knit that can be completed in a day or two. Unbelievably soft, the shawl features super bulky weight Amano Yana XL, spun with 100% fine Peruvian highland wool.

With a lightness you would not expect from a super bulky yarn & a micron count of 21.5, Yana XL is like being wrapped in a cloud.

The Antonia Shawl comes in one size & requires 3 skeins of the main color (Blanca in sample photo) & 2 skeins of the contrast color (Cosmo Vision in sample photo). You will also need size US 36, 47” circular needles. The finished piece is 60” across (wingspan) & 36” deep at widest point.
