Yarn Requirements
To create your own pair of Foldover Tops Cabled Mitts, you'll need approximately 170 (195, 220) yards / 155 (180, 205) meters of Daughter of a Shepherd Hebridean & Zwartbles DK yarn. This luxurious yarn blend consists of 75% Hebridean wool and 25% Zwartbles wool, providing both warmth and softness. Each 50g skein offers a generous 255 yards / 233 meters of high-quality fiber. For those looking to substitute, we recommend using DK weight yarn to achieve the best results.
