Yarn Substitutions

Although the samples use cotton yarn for a lightweight, breathable finish, you can experiment with other suitable yarns, including cotton blends, wool blends, acrylic and recycled fibres.

Different yarn weights and fibres will affect the drape, texture and sizing. If using a lighter yarn, the pattern includes guidance for increasing the starting chain to maintain a similar width.

A tension swatch is recommended when substituting yarn.
