RECOMMENDED YARN (Aran/Worsted)

Höner och Eir - Nutiden (unspun yarn, comes in plates of ~100 g ~ 530 m/ approx. 580 yds) - colourways ‘Bergtagen’ (Sample 1) and ‘Vägen Hem’ (Sample 2), held double:

• Meters: 2255, 2465, 2650 (2730, 2890, 3100) {3340, 3500, 3710}
• Yards: 2465, 2695, 2900 (2985, 3160, 3390) {3655, 3830, 4055}
• Grams: 425, 465, 500 (515, 545, 585) {630, 660, 700}

YARN SUBSTITUTES

Any unspun yarn held double, such as Ístex Plötulopi or Wooldreamers Manchelopi, or any aran to worsted weight yarn that meets the gauge. Please note that for results similar to the original samples, it is best to use unspun or non-superwash woollen spun yarns. These yarns are lighter and can maintain the oversized look of the garment without adding extra weight. On the other hand, using worsted spun yarn will result in a heavier garment. Since worsted spun yarns are denser, they might lead to a garment that stretches under its own weight, especially when designed to be oversized.

Yarn (Aran/Worsted)
Ístex - Léttlopi (100% New Wool, 50 g = 100 m/ approx. 100 yds):

• Meters: 950, 1050, 1110 (1175, 1215, 1290) {1380, 1445, 1540} 
• Yards: 1040, 1150, 1215 (1285, 1330, 1410) {1510, 1580, 1685}

NEEDLES 

3.5 mm (US 4) and 4.0 mm  (US 6) 60-120 cm/ 24-47 in circular needles and/or DPNs. 

Please note: This is a suggestion. Nutiden colourway densities vary, so use larger needles for thinner blends or when combining a single unspun strand with lace-weight yarn.

NOTIONS

Stitch markers, a locking marker, stitch holders, a tapestry needle, waste yarn to sew down the folded collar, measuring tape, and scissors.
