Yarn Details

Introducing De Rerum Natura Gilliat, a luxurious yarn made from 100% merino wool. Each 100 g ball contains approximately 270 yards (250 meters) of soft and durable fiber, perfect for a variety of knitting projects. For this pattern, you'll need 4 (4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8) balls in the beautiful Salt and Pepper (MC) colorway, along with 1 ball of White Pepper (CC) for added contrast.

In terms of quantity, this translates to roughly 1080 (1080/1350/1350/1620/1620/1890/2160) yards or 1000 (1000/1250/1250/1500/1500/1750/2000) meters of worsted weight yarn needed for the project. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of designs, from cozy sweaters to stylish accessories.

Needle Recommendations

For optimal results, we recommend using US4 (3.5mm) needles for the ribbing section and US7 (4.5mm) needles for the body of your project. This needle combination will help you achieve the perfect stitch definition and overall structure.

Gauge Information

When knitting in the round with the larger needles and after blocking, aim for a gauge of 19.5 stitches x 33 rows = 4 inches (10 cm). Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your finished piece fits as intended and maintains the integrity of your design.

Fit Specifications

The intended fit for this pattern includes about +1 to 2 inches of positive ease. This allows for comfortable wear without being overly tight, perfect for layering during colder months or wearing alone for a stylish look.
