I need help finding the right yarn :)
Hiii,
I want to start my first knitting project, but I am already stuck on the yarn choices…
I would like to knit a poncho. Preferably with the pattern from AVER P. This are the recommended yarns and needle sizes:
YARN
300g DK weight yarn (100g = 272-330m/297-360yds).
Look out for a Cotton/Viscose/Linen blend yarn with an irregular texture, also called 'Flammé yarn'.
NEEDLES
5.5 mm (US 9) needles, or needles 3 sizes larger than the yarn's recommended needle Size.
GAUGE
14 sts x 18 rows = 10 x 10cm (4 x 4") in
stockinette stitch on 5.5mm (US 9) needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.
I get confused when it comes to substituting yarn. I prefer wearing natural fibers (a mix of different fibers is no problem als long as there are no synthetics). But I have only one crafting store close by, called Veritas. This is the link to their website: Veritas (wool shop website)
What yarn and needle size is best for this project?
Thank you very much,
A baby knitter <3
