Yarn options
for patterns from Witre Design:
PS:
The fibers in the different types of yarn have their own qualities. Even if the running length is the same and you will most likely get a nice result by switching, norsk wool and merino wool, for example, will not behave in the same way in use. Garments for different uses will need different fibers for the best results. The list below is intended as inspiration to use yarn you have or can get hold of. There will also be many other options you can use that are not listed here. Always make a test swatch before you start, both to check the knitting tension and to see if the look is what you want. Ask in your nearest yarn shop or see the website www.yarnsub.com for other yarn options that are suitable for you.
