Yarn Recommendations
This design works especially well with cotton and cotton bend yarns, which are next to skin friendly and accentuate the cable definition. A yarn in a solid colour is recommended, so as not to compete with the texture. For next to skin wear, choose a yarn that you find next to skin compatible.
