Yarn Suggestions Disclaimer
The yarns listed are suggested alternatives chosen to match the pattern’s yarn weight, gauge, and general fabric characteristics. They are not endorsements, and Marle & Row receive no compensation from any manufacturer. Always knit and block a tension swatch and adjust your needle size to obtain the stated gauge before beginning. If your chosen yarn has different meterage per ball or a different fibre composition (for example, superwash, cotton, linen, viscose, or acrylic blends), you may need to adjust the quantity purchased and expect differences in drape, warmth, and stitch definition. Substitutions are at the knitter’s discretion, and it is advisable to buy a little extra yarn to allow for swatching, matching dye lots, and any personal modifications.
