Yarn Information
For this design, we recommend using Isager Spinni, a luxurious 100% wool yarn with 300 metres / 328 yards per 50 g, held together with Isager Silk Mohair, which comprises 75% Kid mohair and 25% silk, offering 212 metres / 232 yards per 25 g. For the main color (MC), you will need approximately 535 metres / 585 yards of each yarn, while for the contrasting color (CC), around 310 metres / 340 yards of each yarn is required. Please note that the indicated yardage does not include tassels; approximately 15 m / 17 yards of both main colors is needed for this detail.
The beautiful sample shown is knitted with Spinni colourway 39s complemented by Silk Mohair 62 as the main color (MC), and Spinni 100 paired with Silk Mohair 100 as the contrasting color (CC). This combination highlights the delicate interplay of shades reminiscent of a dreamy sky.
Gauge
Achieve the perfect fit by following our gauge of 15 sts x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” when worked flat in the Main Texture using double strands of yarn on a smaller needle, after blocking. This ensures a beautifully flowing fabric that drapes gracefully.
