YARN:
The original pattern is worked with 3 strands of yarn: 1 strand of Drops Alpaca (А) , color 7895 and 2 strands of Drops kid silk (В) color 19 held together throughout.

For sweater you need: A – 5 (6) 6 (7) skeins, B – 7 (8) 9 (10) skeins.

Alternative:

To substitute you may use any 3-stranded yarn in approx. yardage:
Alpaca/merino 167 m (183 yds) per 50g skein (1 strand) and Kid-Silk 210 m (230 yds) per 25g skein (2 strands).

Tube yarn with one strand or 1 strand of Tube yarn + 1 strand kid-silk are also suitable. For example: Drops Air, Katia Cotton-Merino, Lana Grossa Mia and others in approx. yardage 100-150m (110-165yds) per 50g skein.

Approximate consumption for these suggestions:
• Tube yarn with one strand: 6 (7) 7 (8) skeins
• 1 strand of Tube yarn (А) + 1 strand of Kid Silk (В):
А - 5 (6) 6 (7), В – 4 (5) 5 (6) мотков.

You can also use any merino yarn in approx. yardage 100 m (110yds) per 50g, but be prepared for the sweater to be quite heavy
