Maidana can be made in Hachito or Herriot or any other DK weight yarn. DPNs are great when blocking to really square off each step of the shawl. =) The best part of this pattern is that it comes with both knit and crochet instructions! (Knit chart and crochet written)

NEEDLES AND STITCHING:
Crochet pattern uses size F(3.75 mm) hook. Knit pattern uses US 7 needles.
