Size: Small (medium pattern possibly soon, but then ecomodista still needs to size the Noro Gansey...)
Yarn: Karabella Aurora Bulky and Aurora or wool/camel out of stock but one may substitute Classic Elite's Kumara, a medium weight yarn spun from wool and camel or the now scarce Debbie Bliss Fex yarn. Rowan Felted Tweed Chunky, Rowan Purelife Renew, Debbie Bliss Riva; Rowan Tweed Aran could be mixed with solids from Debbie Bliss or Classic Elite Ariosa wool and cashmere yarn using Debbie Bliss Blue Faced Leicester Aran in exchange for the Rowan Linen Print, although scrounging on eBay may net some vintage yarn, but after all it's more important to use odds and ends, leftovers from previous projects.
