Disclaimer: When substituting yarn for your knitting projects, it’s essential to match the drape, fit, finished measurements, and gauge to achieve the intended outcome. To ensure the best results, aim for yarns with similar fibre content, as different fibres can drastically affect the look and feel of your final project—wool, for example, won’t behave the same way as acrylic, and vice versa. While swatching to achieve the correct gauge, keep in mind that using different fibres may lead to variations in the finished piece.

The yarn substitutes provided here share the same ply, fibre content, and similar characteristics to the pattern’s sample yarn. However, these yarns have not been tested with this pattern, they’re merely recommendations, so we cannot guarantee identical results.
