Recommended Yarn: Any 10 ply/Worsted/Cat. 4 weight yarn that provides a good stitch definition (i.e., avoid fluffy, feathery, or heavily textured yarns). An 8 ply/DK/Cat 3. weight yarn can also be used, if preferred. Hook: Follow yarn label as a guide or use your preferred hook. Swatch and adjust hook if/as necessary to achieve the preferred density of crochet fabric. Slightly looser tension or larger hook than usual may be required to ensure fabric is soft/not stiff.
