Yarn Requirements: For the main color (MC), you will need 70 (75, 80, 90) yards / 65 (70, 75, 85) meters of fingering weight yarn. For the contrasting color (CC), 140 (150, 160, 180) yards / 130 (140, 150, 165) meters of lace weight yarn held double is required. We recommend Dimond Laine Elmer Fingering (80% Merino/20% Cashmere, 410 yards / 100g) combined with Dimond Laine Sugar (50% Cashmere/27% Merino/23% Silk, 820 yards / 100g) for a luxurious finish.
