Do you usually knit your projects with the yarn recommended in the pattern? I almost always substitute it for another yarn! Whether it's because they don't sell that yarn here, because I want a different look, or because I have a yarn specifically designed for that project... I usually substitute it 😛
This episode is for all those who are not quite sure how to substitute yarns, for those who do what they want and end up with a result that is not what they expected, and for those who do not dare to change the yarn suggested by the pattern.
NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE
Sections: On my needles, Knitflix.
– I continue knitting my Tin Roof even though it seems like I'm not making any progress.
– The pattern for the scrap blanket you are knitting is Jelly Roll Blanket by Bakery Bears.
– Series mentioned on Knitflix: Stranger Things, Intimacy, Better Call Saul.
– Here is the formula for comparing the meters of two wools whose format is of different weight:
Meters (or yards) per ball / grams per ball x grams we need
Ex: 180 meters / 50g x 100g = 243 meters in 100g
– Yarn Sub is the website you can use to get a list of yarns to replace the one in your project, and Yarn Buddy is the app (only for iOS) that, in addition to being a digital project notebook, has other tools to help you make a good substitution.
