Calypso Sweater

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.

C1: 2 (2, 2, 2, 2) (3, 3, 3, 3) skeins C2: 4 (4, 4, 5, 5) (6, 6, 7, 7) balls
