Notes

CC stripe yardage, appr.:
40 sts: 1.3m
28 sts: 1.0m
16 sts: 0.5m
(add 15-20cm ends to weave in)

CC stripes are scraps and bits of all sorts: DK merino, fingering sock yarn and alpaca (double stranded), thread Geelong (4 plies, navajo plied +1). Not all of them are superwash!

Unvented a way to have less ends to weave in:
Where fingering yarn makes a stripe, measure single length needed (including a 15-20cm end) and fold it around main yarn before starting knitting with CC double stranded.

Smaragd swatch:
3.0mm CO & stockinette & 3 ribs
3.25mm 3 ribs
3.5mm last 3-4 ribs & Icelandic BO

Wollmeise DK swatch:
3.25mm, half the pattern sts = 28 sts

both: stripes in 4-ply sock wool, doubled
