Yarn Requirements for Your Knitting Project

Main Color (MC): Approximately 585 grams (630 g, 700 g, 775 g, 800 g) (900 g, 965 g, 1035 g, 1100 g) or 6 skeins (7, 7, 8, 8) (9, 10, 11, 11) of Alafosslopi from Istex, which is made from 100% Icelandic wool. Each skein contains approximately 100 meters (109 yards) for every 100 grams, and we are showcasing this in the beautiful colourway 1237 Sheep Sorrel. Alternatively, you might need around 585 meters (630 m, 700 m, 775 m, 800 m) (900 m, 965 m, 1035 m, 1100 m) or 640 yards (689 yds, 766 yds, 848 yds, 875 yds) (985 yds, 1056 yds, 1132 yds, 1203 yds) of any other bulky weight yarn that matches the gauge.

Contrasting Color (CC): For the contrasting color, you will require roughly 200 grams (215 g, 235 g, 245 g, 255 g) (275 g, 285 g, 295 g, 305 g), which is equivalent to 2 (3, 3, 3, 3) (3, 3, 3, 4) skeins of the same yarn. This is displayed in the lovely colourway 9976 Beige Tweed. Alternatively, you can opt for about 200 meters (215 m, 235 m, 245 m, 255 m) (275 m, 285 m, 295 m, 305 m) or 219 yards (235 yds, 257 yds, 268 yds, 279 yds) (301 yds, 312 yds, 323 yds, 334 yds) of any other bulky weight yarn that has a corresponding gauge.

Gauge Specifications: To achieve the perfect fit for your garment, it's crucial to maintain the correct gauge. You should aim for 12 stitches & 17 rounds over 10 centimeters (4 inches) on 6.0 mm (US 10) needles. This should be measured over stockinette stitch worked in the round after blocking. For ribbing, you will need to achieve 15 stitches & 22 rounds in 10 cm (4 in) also on 6.0 mm (US 10) needles, measured over 1x1 ribbing worked in the round after blocking. Making sure to adhere closely to these gauge measurements will ensure that your finished piece turns out perfectly.

With the right yarn and gauge, you'll create a stunning and cozy project that showcases your knitting skills. Happy knitting!
