**YARN** Fingering wt yarn held double: One skein of any heavy lace weight or light fingering wt yarn. The total yardage needed will be approximately double the estimated yardage for a single strand. If you’d rather use a single strand of fingering wt yarn (held single), you’ll need a bit more yardage and your fabric will be lighter and drapier.
