MATERIALS

  • 3 (3, 3, 4, 4, 4) skeins of Karin Öberg’s Kalinka, 100% linen. I used the color Cyan.

NOTE: Unfortunately, we no longer carry Karin Öberg’s Kalinka. We recommend, instead, 3 (3, 4, 4, 5, 5) skeins of Purl Soho’s Field Linen 100% linen. Each skein is 295 yards/100 grams; approximately 755 (845, 965, 1065, 1190, 1315) yards required.
