About choosing yarn and colour
This sweater is worked with fingering weight yarn in one colour so simply choose your favourite. The sample is worked with a single-ply merino/linen blend and single-ply merinos tend to be quite plumpy compared to other fingering weight yarns. Work a swatch with cables to check your gauge. If you’re having trouble achieving gauge, perhaps try a sport weight yarn. And when it comes to colour, you can go with anything you like. Though, I would mention that cables tend to show off better with lighter colours than very dark ones.
