Notes

Yoke; colour ways 15 and 17 (see last slide)
Beginning with 17 and slowly alternating with 15. You would need to hold it double for the pattern , check your gauge.
I held them double with other yarns (nothing special just a similar solid shade) but only because I had just one skein of each of these two colours and needed to reach pattern gauge. If I had unlimited yarn grin I would have preferred to hold them double with themselves. hearts


I used two main colours essentially but made up of 4 yellow yarns, two shades each consisting of two threads ( so held double) and two red, held double.
For yardages I have combined the yellow yarns of the same type.

MC Red

Held double with Rosario’s Piopardo ( colour 5)
678.5y / 620m (188g)

212y / 194m (59g)
Held double with a merino single ( various colours)
310y / 284m (79g)

CC also two yarns held double
Rowan felted tweed 225.38y / 206m (59g)
Qing merino single 132y / 120m (33g)
