YARN
The Farmer’s Daughter Soka’pii (100% MT & WY Rambouillet 248 yards/227 meters per 50 g skein, light fingering) or any light fingering or fingering weight yarn. Soka’pii is a subtle thick and thin light single ply that is amazingly soft and cloudlike. For more drape, a sock yarn or single ply merino is recommended. Choose yarns with plenty of contrast. Yardage for either fingering or light fingering is provided. Please note that while row gauge may be difficult to achieve with fingering weight, there is some leeway built into the yoke depth of the pattern.
