MATERIALS

  • Main Color (MC): 1 skein of Anzula’s Sebastian, 70% superwash merino, 30% sea cell. This is the color Seaside. (Please Note: Anzula is no longer producing Sebastian. We recommend using our Posy and 1 skein is sufficient for the Main Color!)
  • Contrast Color (CC): 2 skeins of Koigu’s Premium Merino, 100% merino. This is the color 2400.
  • A set of US 2 (3 mm) double pointed needles

NOTE: This is enough yarn for one Father’s Tie and one Son’s Tie. If you are making just one of the Son’s Ties, you will only need 1 skein of each yarn, if you are making one of the Father’s Ties, you will need 2 Koigu and 1 Sebastian.. The Father’s Tie takes approximately 245 yards, and the Son’s Tie takes approximately 150 yards.
