However, if you do want to peek many, many photos of gorgeous finished shawls can be found on Ravelry.
4 stitch markers, if you wish to place markers between individual repeats of a stitch pattern you will need up to 39 additional markers (preferably contrasting).

There are SO many options. I’d suggest fairly solid colourways that won’t obscure stitch patterns in a fibre blend that blocks well. I’ve gotten a bit addicted to these and so far I’ve used the following yarns.
Old Maiden Aunt Merino Superwash 4ply in Ghillie Dhu and Seen the Ocean
Jamieson & Smith Shetland Heritage in Silver Grey
YarnPony ShowPony 4-ply in Roman Coin
I totally understand the choice not to swatch for a shawl, but make sure that you like the fabric you’re getting and remember that gauge affects the amount of yarn used — have extra on hand!
