If you prefer a more fitted top, choose a size with -2-0”[-5-0cm] of negative ease.* **Suggested Needles:** US 6 – 4.0mm needles (for shoulder ribbing) US 8 – 5.0 mm 24-40” (body) circular needles, plus preferred needle for small circumference knitting if not using magic loop **Suggested Yarn:** *While I used a single ply wool silk blend yarn for my original samples, any yarn you get gauge with will work! I have compiled a [Budget Yarn Options Spreadsheet][7] sorted by price per yard to assist with financial accessibility. Use any fingering yarn that you like that works for your budget.* *If you are looking for a fiber that will replicate the drape of the original sample, you will want to look for a blend that includes merino with silk, cotton, or linen. You can also use a 100% silk, linen, or cotton fiber. If you do this, I recommend sizing down one size to account for lack of memory in the fiber.* ***$$$*** **Modus Operandi Silky Fingering** (438yds/100g, 70/30 SW Merino & Silk, single ply) - *A beautiful, naturally dyed yarn with gorgeous sheen and drape.
