TENSION
16 sts and 20 rows to 10 cm
( 4 in) over plain st st using 6
mm needles.
Because of the unusual na-
ture of this hand spun yarn, it
is imperative that you check
your tension carefully before
commencing the garment. If
your tension is too loose, try
a size smaller needle; if your
tension is too tight, try a size
larger needle.
ABBREVIATIONS
K, knit;
P, purl;
st(s), stitch(es);
Important:
We recommend buying enough yarn to
complete a project. If there is a great
difference between skeins, we recommend
knitting two rows from one skein and two
rows from another skein to give an overall
blended effect.
