The needlesize is only a guideline. If you get a gauge with more than the provided stitches you should switch to a bigger needle size. If you get a gauge with less than the provided stitches you should switch to a smaller needle size. It is smart to always make a swatch to check the gauge before starting on the garment, as everyone knits differently, and if you choose an alternative yarn it might behave differently.

Yarn: Luna, Vidde or/and Varde from Hillesvåg Yarns

What is the difference between Luna, Vidde and Varde from Hillesvåg yarns?
All three yarns are made from 100% Norwegian wool. The yarns are made of wool from different Norwegian sheep breeds, which give different looks and feel to the garment. You can combine them.
Luna is made from 100% white sheep wool and is the softest of these three yarns. The colours are completely clear.
Vidde is made of white sheep’s wool and gray fur wool, which makes the colours mottled.
Varde is made of 100% fur wool from Norwegian fur sheep. This is a mottled and shiny yarn.
