The Cressida Shawl is a lovely crochet design kitted with 3 skeins of hand-dyed, 100% extrafine merino Urth Yarns Harvest Fingering Yarn. Aptly named after the Greek chrysos meaning "golden," this gilded beauty will have you in love with our Urth Yarns Harvest Yarn. You will need a USF/3.75mm crochet hook to complete this masterpiece.
Urth Yarns dyes their yarn with hand-dyed with roots, fruits, and nuts, giving the yarn luscious colors from neutrals to a vibrant Citrus-yellow. Each skein is named for the natural dye used and the extrafine merino is a dream.
This pattern is initially written by the Berrocco Design Team for Berroco Ultra Wool Fine; so you will want to test your gauge before breaking into this beautiful project. Both are extrafine-fingering weight yarns, so once you have your tension locked in you should have nothing to fear.
