his beautiful shrug is made from a chunky mixture yarn that is soft and warm.
The Stylecraft yarn is called Brushstrokes and is 80% Acrylic 10% wool and 10% mohair.
It has a slightly fluffy appearance that further mutes the shades for a stunning effect.
I have crocheted this shrug in a stitch of my own devising which makes for a closer weave and yet remains very stretchy when required.
