Notes

Unblocked, my first swatch in the Long Island Lavender Denim colourway is perfect, but when I took it out of the soak it had grown by 2 sts and 2 rows. disappointed
I’ve left it to dry without any pins, and really hoping it will shrink back, or I’m going to have to look in stash again.

The Long Island sadly didn’t shrink, so my final choice is now between the top 2.
Wooltops Shetland/BFL @ 350m/100g in light blue. This is the same yarn as the turquoise in the 2nd pic of st st gauge swatches.
Wooltops Poldale sock @ 400m/100g in natural grey.
I decided to go with Wooltops Shetland/BFL, and I’m so happy with it! Love the moonstone blue…

I made size 2 with the extended yoke. No mods apart from adding some extra length to the sleeves.
After blocking, the final bust measurement was spot on at 39”. I have a 35” bust, so this gives me approx 4” of positive ease.

Blocked measurements:
Bust, 39”
Length from top of shoulder to hem, 23”. (22.5” from middle of back neck to hem)
Underarm, 19.5”
Underarm to hem, 14.5”

Body weighs 205g, 717m
Total weight, 288g.
The (longer) sleeves have taken 83g, 290m
