YARN SUGGESTIONS
This pattern works best when using a wool, or a wool blend. Wool provides the elasticity that helps this sweater keep it’s shape. If you use a 100% superwash wool, you run the risk of your sweater not turning out the way this pattern is written due to how much superwash wool grows.
Look for brands that contain around 80% wool and have 220 - 250 yards per 100 grams.
MC yarn used: Knit Picks Capra. DK Weight.
85% Merino Wool / 15% Cashmere.
CC yarn used: DK weight in a wool or wool blend that matches the grams and yardage as MC yarn used. The stripes use at most - 20 yards - per color, therefore this may be a good opportunity to use up mini skeins or left overs from your stash.
Other yarn suggestions from brands that could work for this pattern:
Cascade 220
Anzula Cricket DK
Sirdar Cashmere Merino Silk
Sweet Georgia BFL + Silk
Toft DK
Jagger Spun Maine Line
