YARN USED FOR SAMPLE
- Rowan - Cashsoft dk - 57% extra fine merino - 33% acrylic microfibre - 10% cashmere
- 1.75 ounces-(50 grams)    -    142 yards per skein-(130 m)

For your cardigan to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
