For the shawl in the photos, I used our colors 0140 and 0020.  [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] is a skinny but lofty organic wool and raw silk blend with a delightfully rustic finish.

Finished measurements: 58″ wingspan, 22.5″ depth at center point.
Gauge: 14 sts and 42 rows to 4″ in Garter st on US 5 knitting needles, after blocking.
Yarn: [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , one ball (310 yards) each, of two colors.
