Hand-dyed yarn has a special pull to it when seen and held at the store, but once home, I often find myself unsure what to work up with it: an intricate pattern would get lost in the color variations, and while we all love garter stitch shawls, sometimes something a little bit more challenging is needed.
Glass Ripples is workable in any yarn weight; numbers given are just an estimate. Work it as large as you want, at a gauge that feels comfortable to you.
