DETAILS
Yarn quantities required for the "Jeu de Billes" sweater: S: 640 g / M: 690 g / L: 760 g / XL: 840 g / 2XL: 940 g / 3XL: 1030 g / 4XL: 1090 g / 5XL: 1150 g / 6XL: 1250 g Knitting tips for this sweater: Since the yarn is hand-dyed, each skein may feature slightly different color nuances. Before starting, it is recommended to unwind each skein and compare the colors to decide which one to use for each part of the sweater. Tip: - For a harmonious blend, choose darker skeins for the yoke and lighter skeins for the sleeves and body. - For the sleeves and body, use one skein per section, selecting skeins with similar colors and tone densities. - Since this is a thick yarn with shorter yardage, avoid leaving excessively long yarn tails at the beginning and end of your work to ensure you do not run out. -------------------- ■ Yarn The Mirefleurs yarn series is made from a rigorous selection of French fibers, chosen for their quality and authenticity. ■ Artisanal and eco-responsible dyeing We carefully hand-dye each skein, using only white vinegar or citric acid to set the colors while respecting the environment and the fiber. Due to this artisanal process, each skein is unique and presents slight variations in shades. ■ Series Characteristics The Mirefleurs range comes in different thicknesses and qualities to support all your knitting projects.
