Come join us in [Shanalines Designs Discord][1]. There's a coupon code for a bunch more patterns perfect for handspun yarn over there! **COEXIST** is a cowl designed for a pair of colors: a color-changing handspun yarn along with a complementary tonal color. This is an excellent opportunity to highlight the shifting colors of handspun yarn alongside a commercially spun fingering weight yarn. The 2 colors chase after each other in intuitive stripes resulting in a reversible fabric with subtle shaping. Designed for double-loop styling, the length can be adjusted per your preference to create a shorter or longer finished piece. **YARN – COLOR 1** 2-ply handspun yarn, approximately 18 WPI (wraps per inch), mixed fibers. **YARN – COLOR 2** Woolens & Nosh Superwash Targhee Fingering, 90% Targhee, 10% Nylon, 465 yd / 425 m per 115 g or similar fingering weight yarn.
