YARN
Fingering wt yarn held double: One skein of any heavy lace weight or light fingering wt yarn. The total yardage needed will be approximately double the estimated yardage for a single strand.
If you’d rather use a single strand of fingering wt yarn (held single), you’ll need a bit more yardage and your fabric will be lighter and drapier.
Sample used: Shelridge Yarns, Touch Fine (80% SW Merino, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon), color “Oyster”.
Estimated yardage for fingering wt yarn held single:

  • S: 275 yds (251 meters)
  • M: 340 yds (311 meters)
  • L: 380 yds (347 meters)
  • XL: 415 yds (379 meters)

DK wt yarn substitution: You can easily substitute with DK wt yarn held single. Your fabric will be denser and will have less drape.
Estimated yardage for DK wt yarn held single:

  • S: 210 yds (192 meters)
  • M: 260 yds (238 meters)
