Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

So do I Doc. I’ve not got the right size needles but I’ve had a try with bigger ones and they are really tricky to start (start at the neck, in the round, with 26 stitches)

I’m looking at the wool I would need for the wrap and I think it’s going to be way too expensive to contemplate.

I guess I need to learn more about different wools. It says to use 100% merino wool in Aran weight.

You can use any Aran weight yarn, though some fibres would be a better choice than others. I wouldn’t use cotton as it would be way too heavy, alpaca would be very drapey and very, very warm. I’d probably look at something like Drops Alaska woolwarehouse.co.uk

At £3.60 per 100g it would be cheaper than a merino.

Thanks HB, that would definitely make it much more affordable.

I'd use a washable wool/acrylic mix, but I'm a bit of a heathen.
