RECOMMENDED YARN (Fingering)
The CHLOE TEE is designed for Saona yarn from Wooldreamers, a wonderfully soft and bouncy blend of Spanish traceable wool and Andalusian cotton with a touch of rustic character. However, you can easily substitute the recommended yarn with any suitable heavy fingering weight yarn of your choice.

YARN SUBSTITUTES
To achieve a comparable result to the original design, choose yarn that is of similar fiber content and structure as the recommended yarn. However, you can also achieve great results by using different yarns.
