Frequently asked questions
Does the Sunday table need doubling again?
No. For the two-strand Sunday option, each colour column already totals both strands. Do not double those metre amounts again.
Can I use the Sunday-and-mohair quantities for Sunday held double?
Use the table for the exact construction. Sunday held double and Sunday held with Tynn Silk Mohair have different quantities; the mohair option also needs separate amounts in each colour.
What finishes the neckline?
The neck edge is folded and includes double knitting. It is distinct from the chunky edition’s turtleneck.
