Yardage: The pattern requires a total yardage of 710 (820, 890, 1010, 1100, 1230) metres / 780 (900, 975, 1115, 1205, 1345) yards, making it suitable for various sizes and guaranteeing you’ll have enough yarn to complete your masterpiece.

Yarn: We recommend using Greta and the Fibers’s Silk Me Worsted—a delightful blend of 60% merino wool and 40% silk, which boasts 201 metres / 220 yards per 100 g. This luxurious yarn will give your sweater a soft, silky feel and beautiful drape.
