(The total yardage is based on the cropped version, you may need more yardage when extending the length of body ) Update: The white version with speckles in the photo is the one I knit with a combination of fingering weight hand-dyed yarn and a strand of silk mohair held together. For the lace pattern on the neckline, cuffs, and hem, I used a solid-colored triple-stranded mohair silk to avoid any color bleeding that might interfere with the lace pattern. The yarn brand: Krea Deluxe Silk Mohair & Muticolor Organic Wool 1. This sample is knitted in size 2, using approximately 960 m of Silk Mohair and 600 m of wool. Needles: 4 mm (US 6), 40 ~120 cm circular needle for the body and sleeves, the hem and cuffs. 3.5 mm (US 4), for the neckline. If you would like to have a looser neckline, use 3.75 mm (US 5) needle will be better. (DPNs or preferred needles (Magic Loop) for small circumference knitting.)
