Yarn: For the Lynwood sweater, you'll need a light fingering or fingering weight yarn. The recommended yardage ranges from 437 to 656 yards (or 400 to 600 meters) per 3.5 ounces (100 grams). In total, anticipate using approximately 300 to 500 grams, translating to roughly 1860 to 3280 yards (or 1200 to 2500 meters) to complete your project. Opt for a yarn that produces a soft and flowing fabric for the best results and ultimate comfort.
