Note: This yarn has been discontinued but is still available for a limited time on various sites. If you’re unable to find it, I suggest Blacker Yarns’ Pure Shetland 4-ply in the shades Fawn (MC) and White (CC) as good substitutes. The yardage is the same so the above quantities and gauge will still apply.
