Disclaimer: with substituting yarn for your knitting projects, achieving the same drape, fit, finished measurements, and gauge, as the designer is essential to get the same finished measurements and yarn requirements. To ensure the best results, opt for similar fibre content, as each type of yarn behaves differently, wool won’t give you the same outcome as acrylic, and so on. So, while swatching to achieve a specific gauge, keep in mind that using a different fibre content may yield different results in your final project. The yarn substitutes included the same ply and fibre content and had similar attributes as our pattern sample yarn. They have not used the yarn with this pattern, therefore it hasn’t been tested, therefore we cannot make any guarantee on the finished outcome.
