NEEDLES
— 6.0 mm circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm
/ 32” for the body and a shorter cable length for the sleeves or
DPNs.
— 5..5 mm circular needle with a cable length of at least 80 cm /
32” and a shorter cable length for the sleeves or DPNs for cuffs
and hem.
I would not recommend the magic loop technique for this yarn,
since it tends to pull the thread excessively and pre-yarn is very
fragile. I love using my shorter cable sleeve needles for working
with unspun yarn and DPNs are also wonderful.

GAUGE
15 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” ( in stockinette stitch on
gauge-sized needles, after blocking).
