This pattern calls for 1 oz of colored single zephyr and 1 oz of white. Single zephyr is similar to modern fingering weight yarn. The suggested needle is a “medium bone needle,” which is up to your interpretation.

The main piece is knitted with the colored wool in garter stitch, then a white border is added on in herringbone stitch.
