Instead of being limited to one predetermined yarn weight, you can simply adjust the number of strands to create exactly the fabric your project requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor lightweight garments, start with four strands. Five strands create a versatile Sport-weight fabric at 300m\/100g, while six strands produce a slightly warmer and denser Sport-weight fabric at 250m\/100g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple stockinette beautifully showcases CASHWOOL's smooth, refined surface, while ribs, cables, and textured stitches benefit from its excellent stitch definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways wash your swatch.
