11 sts (-1)
needle
needle not recorded
skein
50 m / 50 g

Thinner per gram. Haloed mohair-type instead of inelastic plant fibre: a halo that fills in the fabric — it will look denser. 11 sts instead of 12 — close, it might work. We recommend swatching!

100 m / 100 g

Thinner per gram. Drapey fibre instead of inelastic plant fibre: more drape and less memory — the garment will hang longer and softer. 13 sts instead of 12 — close, it might work. We recommend swatching!

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
