Yarn Requirements

Our recommended yarns are New Zealand Merino 4ply (178 metres per 50 g) and New Zealand Merino 8ply (138 metres per 50 g). Choose one yarn weight and follow the corresponding instructions, using a single strand throughout.

The table converts the pattern’s stated quantities to metres using these yarn specifications. These are planning allowances, not measured consumption; allow extra for swatching or changes to length. Check your washed swatch against the pattern tension before beginning.
