Tramonto Shawl is made with the most beautiful handdyed baby alpaca yarn from ColoriNaturali. I made this triangular shawl during my summer holiday, and worked on it several nights during the sunsets. Tramonto is the Italian word for sunset.

Measurements of the shawl : 184 cm/72,50 in wingspan and 55 cm/21,50 in deep. The size can be easily adjusted by making more or less pattern repeats (of both body and border section).
