Ideally, the yarn will also have a silky texture and excellent drape. For the second choose a soft fluffy lace yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggested options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandnes Garn Alpakka Silke 4ply, 70% baby alpaca, 30% mulberry silk, approximately 200 m per 50g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonique Dillon Yarn Stratus, 50% Superwash Merino, 50% Silk, 4ply, approximately 400 m per 100g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFyberspates Scrumptious 4ply, 45% silk, 55% merino, approximately 365 m per 100g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDye Studio 54 Fingering Merino\/Silk\/Yak, Hand Dyed 4ply, 60% SW merino, 20% silk, 20% yak, approximately 366m per 100g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSirdar Snuggly Cashmere Merino Silk 4ply, approximately 170 m per 50g. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLang Yarns Zen, 35% superfine merino, 35% alpaca, 30% silk, approximately 200 m per 25g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLana Grossa Setasuri, 69% alpaca, 31% silk, approximately 212 m per 25 grams.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPPROXIMATE YARDAGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 1 (short) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 0 470 m\/ 520 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 1 530 m\/ 580 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 2 600 m\/ 660 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 3 650 m\/ 720 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 4 730 m\/ 800 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 5 820 m\/ 900 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 6 910 m \/ 1000 yds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 2 (long)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 0 510 m\/ 550 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 1  570 m\/ 620 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 2 640 m\/ 700 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 3 700 m\/ 770 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 4 780 m\/ 850 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 5 880 m\/ 960 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 6 9970 m\/ 1060 yds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGAUGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e21 stitches and 31 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) when knitted in stockinette with the two yarns held together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KNITONE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53720849056062,"sku":null,"price":11.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/7161\/0686\/files\/bergenvest.avif?v=1781070501"},{"product_id":"pattern-kiniki-knits-elise-vest","title":"Pattern | Kiniki Knits | Elise Vest","description":"\u003cp\u003eI'm super happy to offer patterns from a talented local Queenstown knitwear designer, \u003cem\u003eKiniki Knits\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a physical printed pattern. \u003cem\u003eKiniki\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eKnits \u003c\/em\u003epatterns will also be stocked at the Arrowtown Post Shop. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElise Vest\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis worked in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etwo-coloured zigzag jacquard stitch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon the front, and one-colour stockinette stitch on the back.
