Concept by KatiaLace70% cotton, 30% mohair

workable
gauge
35 sts (-1)
needle
3 mm
skein
225 m / 50 g

Denser per gram. 35 sts instead of 36 — close, it might work. We recommend swatching!

workable
gauge
35 sts (-1)
needle

skein
160 m / 25 g

Springy wool instead of inelastic plant fibre: more spring and memory — expect a bouncier fabric. 35 sts instead of 36, on a 3.5 mm needle rather than 3 mm — close, maybe it will work. We recommend swatching!.

ALPACA LACE

PascualiLace100% alpaca

workable
gauge
36 sts (same)
needle
3 mm
skein
400 m / 50 g

Thinner per gram. Drapey fibre instead of inelastic plant fibre: more drape and less memory — the garment will hang longer and softer.

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.
