Good Yarn Choices for the Kinship Pullover

The pattern calls for a gauge of 17 stitches per 4" or 4.25 stitches per 1". Erika suggests the Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair which is a worsted weight yarn (58g/~140yds, 18 stitches per 4"). Local yarn is always better, reflecting the Kinship's stitch pattern representing the interconnectedness of the steps from sheep to sweater. All of these choices are natural fibers grown in the US and the yarn made in the US. The Green Mountain Spinnery and Junction Fiber Mill yarns are made in Vermont. The GMS Alpaca Elegance and the Quince & Co. Wren are both labeled DK weight but could work with attention to swatching and achieving gauge. Always check your gauge to avoid tears and frustration.
