Materials

Suggested Needle

• 4 mm [US 6] circular needles 16, 32/40 inches / 40, 80/100 cm or size to obtain gauge. (metal needles here)

Suggested Yarn
Samples made in size XS. Note: though the sample has yarns held together, I found the Qing Fibre Veranita Yarn to be quiet thin, so you could get away with working with just a fingering merino yarn.

Melbourne City Dyeworks (100% Merino, 400 metres/ 437 yds, 100g). If you decide to use this yarn, 2 (2) 3 (3) 3 (3) 4 (4) skeins are required, held together with Qing Fibre Veranita (79% Cashmere, 21% Silk, 300m/325 yds, 25g). If you decide to use this yarn, 3 (3) 4 (4) 4 (5) 5 (5) skeins are required.
