Sample knit in Purl Soho Good Wool held double ($$$$), 100% Andean highland wool 383 yds/100 g or 192 yds/100 g when held double.

Note from Hannah: This sweater is intended to use up scraps if desired. For this reason, I include information on how to combine yarn to meet the intended weight. Both links are incredibly helpful for understanding what yarns will help you reach the intended gauge without having to swatch a thousand times. Both samples used Good Wool held double to achieve 192 yds/100 g; this would be a good number to aim for when calculating your weights.
