Wild Posy { Flora & Luna}
Yarn Requirements for Your Sweater Project
This beautifully crafted sweater requires 2 strands of Plötulopi yarn held together, using 4 (4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7) plates of Plötulopi 100% unspun Icelandic wool, which are 100g each and provide approximately 328 yards (300m) of yarn. Our sample shows the stunning 2021 Dark Woods colorway, making it an eye-catching choice. In total, you will need about 1312 (1312, 1640, 1640, 1640, 1968, 2296, 2296) yards or 1200 (1200, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1800, 2100, 2100) meters of worsted weight yarn. For those looking to adjust the design, please note: the sweater is intended to be cropped, but if you prefer a stylish hip-length jumper, you may need an additional plate of Plötulopi yarn.
