Every size is listed below, with meters and balls needed. Pick a substitute outside the pattern's recommended yarns and Knitr will recalculate the ball count for you. We choose substitutes based on gauge match with the pattern's yarn. For mohairs where gauge is often not stated, we use the yardage to weight ratio.
