Yarn: I used Caron Latte Cakes in my sample, which is a beautiful bulky weight yarn that gives the design its fluffy texture. If you can’t access this yarn, others that will give similar effects include Yarn Bee Alpaca Twist, Lion Brand Feels Like Bliss, or Knit Picks Wonderfluff. You can of course knit with a regular bulky weight, but it won’t be as fluffy.
