Use code “Gnock20” to get 20% off the pattern until Aug 31.

Yarn
Someone To Write Gnome About is written for fingering weight yarn.
Yarn 1: 50g self-striping
Yarn 2: 50g solid or semi-solid yarn, possibly subtly speckled but keep this calm so your self-striping/variegated can strut its stuff
Yarn 3: 20g for hand/beard/nose-type uses

Colour tips and tips for using other weights are in the PreKnitalong PDF available for download when you purchase the pattern.
