Yarn Substitutions

Although the sample uses cotton for a breathable, warm-weather finish, this pattern can also be made using wool, wool blends, acrylic and other comparable yarns.

Different fibres may affect the finished drape, texture and sizing, so a tension swatch is recommended when substituting yarn. Light blocking is also recommended to help open up the Strawberry Lace Stitch.
