Materials and equipment
For the original shawl, we used Patton’s Squin lace yarn which has been discontinued. But you can use any yarn marked Fine CYC #2 and Light CYC #3According to the standard yarn weight system by Craft Yarn Council.
This system is very helpful because often you can’t find the yarn used for a project and have to replace it. As a result, you can be sure that the amount of yard and yarn will be almost the same.
Yarn suggestions

Another option is natural fiber yarn – Premier® Cotton Fair® yarn. This lightweight cotton-blend yarn is perfect for summer projects. Materials: 52% cotton, 48% acrylic; Skin Weight: 3.5 oz. (100 grams) Yardage: 317 yards. (290 meters). Plus, it comes in several colors, so it’s easy to choose your favorite color scheme.
Check out how a stitch looks with Premier Cotton Fair Yarn. It feels a bit heavy and has nice bounce, but drapes nicely. Also, the yarn is slightly thicker, although the label says CYC #2 fine. As a result, it may be more suitable for beginners than finer yarns with sequins.
