This super soft top-down sweater was knit in Lana Grossa’s Class, a wool/angora blend which I believe has been discontinued. However, any worsted or medium weight yarn would work. Although Class is such a worsted weight yarn, I choose to knit it a little on the loose size (hense the gauge) because the warmth of the angora required a little breathability and the loftiness of the yarn allowed it to hold it’s shape without draping too much.
