Choose a size with 6-10” 15-25.5cm of positive ease.

Suggested Yarn:
For the sample, I used Ritual Dyes Undine in the Peony colorway. A plant fiber in a Fingering or Sport weight will provide the most drape for this design, and I’ve included a couple of other yarn suggestions at lower price points below. That said, please use any yarn that is accessible to you. A fingering weight wool will work perfectly fine. I’ve also created this spreadsheet of Budget Yarn Options to assist with financial accessibility.
