For help choosing from our 8ply yarns, contact the Wild & Woolly team. A substitute must match the pattern tension and give a suitable fabric; the same ply alone does not guarantee the same result. Tension, needles and extras Tension: 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 cm over stocking stitch using 4 mm needles. Both designs: One pair of 4 mm knitting needles, a cable needle and a wool needle for sewing seams. Cardigan: 4 mm circular needle, 80–100 cm long, and 8 buttons. Jumper: 4 mm circular needle, 40 cm long. Use the needle size needed to achieve the stated tension. This intermediate project includes cable work and seaming; check the instructions for your chosen design before starting. Frequently asked questions Are both garments included?Yes.
