Yarn Alternatives
Any DK-weight yarn with good drape will work for this pattern.
The linen stitch used for the body is very stretchy. If using a yarn containing plant fibres such as linen or cotton, consider shortening the length of the cardigan by 1–2cm/¼–¾in to prevent it from growing excessively over time.
