    • The KAL will run to approximately June 15, 2020.
    • Some suggestions for yarn (Note pattern calls for fingering weight yarn, some of our suggestions are for sport or DK weight yarn, please check your gauge if you are substituting a different yarn weight):

Hikoo CoBaSi (both fingering, DK, and DK Tonals)

Legacy Fiber Artz Slub-a-Dub

Quince & Co Sparrow

Quince & Co Tern

Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy (sport)

Berroco Quinoa (DK)

Berroco Remix Light (DK)
