Just a quick heads-up for all those interested in making Nanette Lepore’s stunner of a shrug (#19 from VK Holiday 2008):

The pattern calls for Zara Plus and Superior by Filatura Di Crosa/Tahki•Stacy Charles, Inc. The selected color of Superior (#5 Dark Rose) has been sold out and discontinued, so while you may still be able to find this color at your local store, you can no longer purchase it through www.tahkistacycharles.com. Filatura Di Crosa/Tahki•Stacy Charles, Inc. recommends using Superior color #24 Hot Pink as a comparable substitute.

Another option: Use this opportunity to explore your inner designer! Superior comes in twenty stunning shades (click here to view), and Zara Plus offers a vibrant forty (click here to view)—quite a palette in our opinion! Choose shades of the same color for a subtle style or go for more contrasting hues for a stronger statement. Whatever you choose, make it you.
