The label says 13 wpi, but Ravelry listed this yarn as worsted. Most patterns I like say size 7 needles will yield a gauge of 18 (10 cm), but I get 16. Now I understand blocking/rinse/wear will change this. Difficult to know what cardigan pattern to select.

However, your meticulous approach and time spent seems entirely appropriate to the investment in yarn you must have made as well as the effort that will be required to complete a successful sweater. And now I remember why I switched from sweaters to socks!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191683402476515842noreply@blogger.com
