Stitch gauge, density, and fibre character all line up on paper, but there isn't enough needle or row data recorded to confirm it behaves the same on the needle — worth swatching before you commit.

workable
gauge
22 sts (same)
needle
needle not recorded
skein
125 m / 50 g

Inelastic plant fibre instead of drapey fibre: no stretch and a heavier hang — ribbing will not spring back and the garment will grow.

[row gauge unknown — swatch first if the pattern counts rows not cm]

workable
gauge
22 sts (same)
needle
needle not recorded
skein
125 m / 50 g

Springy wool instead of drapey fibre: more spring and memory — expect a bouncier fabric.

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.
