| Firefly Fibers Supplies | Worsted - Aran weight yarn in quantity for your size of sweater. You're welcome to use any of our shop yarns for our KAL, but we have a few suggestions from our tried and true favorites:
Recommended yarn options...
- Brooklyn Tweed Shelter, Tones or Imbue
- Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair
- Harrisville Highland (an exciting NEW arrival)
- Julie Asselin Nurtured
- Lettlopi
- Camp Pullover note... due to a slightly tighter gauge, an additional yarn option for the Camp Pullover is Berroro Lanas (and one that Amy suggests for her design), but we don't recommend this for Felix or Honey Vodka Lemonade because of the looser gauge, however you could use Lanas with a strand of mohair.
