workable
gauge
22 sts (same)
needle
5 mm
skein
150 m / 100 g

Thinner per gram. Synthetic instead of drapey fibre: less breathability and no blocking give.

workable
gauge
21 sts (-1)
needle
5.5 mm
skein
55 m / 50 g

Synthetic instead of drapey fibre: less breathability and no blocking give. 21 sts instead of 22, on a 5.5 mm needle rather than 5 mm — close, maybe it will work. We recommend swatching!.

workable
gauge
22 sts (same)
needle
4 mm
skein
100 m / 100 g

gauge
21 sts (-1)
needle
5.5 mm
skein
75 m / 50 g

THE VEGAN BAG

KatiaWorsted70% lyocell, 30% other

workable
gauge
20 sts (-2)
needle
5.5 mm
skein
200 m / 200 g

Inelastic plant fibre instead of drapey fibre: no stretch and a heavier hang — ribbing will not spring back and the garment will grow. 20 sts instead of 22, on a 5.5 mm needle rather than 5 mm — close, maybe it will 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.
