What to knit with Truesilk

Rough amounts for an average adult size. The designer opens with this yarn and its suggested gauge, then calculates the exact yardage for your measurements.

Held double (), it knits like a Worsted / Aran yarn: about 16.5 stitches per 10 cm.

To replace Truesilk

Same suggested , within 2 stitches per 10 cm, and similar . Knit a swatch before substituting one yarn for another: drape and look can change.
