The Yarn

The original yarn I used for this pattern has been discontinued. A perfect substitute for that yarn is Alla Prima from WeCrochet. Alla prima is made up of 100% Merino wool and has the same fiber content as the original yarn used. For best results I would recommend using this yarn. I have also included some suggest affordable substitutes down below.
