'Swatch a new fibre'
The magazine recommends that now you can ask to buy a small amount of a new knit(yarn) to make a sample swatch without committing to the entire skein!
(Not sure how it would work, but it is a good idea as it can be very costly and you may not be happy with the feel once you had brought bulk to make the shrug? also you could wash the sample to see if its suitable for what you want)
