Marle & Row Yarn Suggestion List Disclaimer

Yarn suggestions are options chosen to match the pattern’s yarn weight and the stitch definition needed for the texture. They are not endorsements. Always knit and measure a tension swatch and adjust needle size to match the stated tension. If your chosen yarn has different meterage per ball, you may need more or fewer balls than listed. Substitutions are at the knitter’s discretion.
