All yarn quantities are approximate due to the adaptability of the pattern sizing.
If substituting the suggested yarn it is recommended that you choose a ‘sticky’ or ‘grabby’ yarn, preferably 100% non-superwash wool. The natural bloom of wool once washed encourages the fibres to stick together, resulting in a more secure steek.
