➤ Recommended Strand Pairing (Important)

• 3 strands: ~500 m / 100 g (fine fabric)
• 4 strands: ~375 m / 100 g (lightweight)
• 5 strands: ~300 m / 100 g (best comfortable starting point)
• 6 strands: ~250 m / 100 g (sport / light DK feel depending on needles & tension)
• Swatching is strongly recommended

➤ Recommended Uses
• Sweaters, cardigans, vests, and tops (held 4–6 strands)
• Scarves, shawls, and wraps (held 3–5 strands depending on openness)

➤ Recommended Needles (Guideline)
• 4 strands: approx. 3.0–4.0 mm
• 5 strands: approx. 3.5–4.5 mm
• 6 strands: approx. 4.0–5.0 mm
• Always swatch — finishing changes the hand and final gauge
