Materials Needed Yarn
C1: Spincycle Yarns Dyed In The Wool
(100% wool, sport-weight/5 ply, 183m/200y per 50g) Color pictured: Ghost Ranch
C2: Rowan Felted Tweed
(50% merino wool 25% alpaca, 25% Viscose, light DK-weight/8 ply, 175m/191y per 50g)
Color pictured: French Mustard (shade 216)
Or similar yarns that can achieve gauge
Note: I find Rowan Felted Tweed to be a light DK-weight, which is why it pairs nicely with Spincycle Dyed In The Wool and knit at a sport-weight gauge. Please bear this in mind if substituting yarns. I recommend sport to light DK weights.
