YARN ALTERNATIVES
Recommended:
The recommended yarn for the Twisted Love Top is pure wool.
The best alternative:
Merino wool should also work perfectly for this pattern!
Another alternative:
You can use acrylic yarn for this project, although the look might turn out slightly different.
I recommend using a yarn with mixed acrylic and natural fibres, such as most sock yarns.
DIFFICULTY
DIFFICULTY: 4/5
This pattern contains a couple of advanced techniques, and is constructed in a way that might be hard to understand for beginners.
Though the pattern does offer detailed explanations of the entire process, and is generally clear and easily legible.
The pattern does contain abbreviations to certain words (k = knit, p = purl etc.) with a guide explaining the meaning of every abbreviation.
You can always check out the Unlucky Knits guides, if you need help along the way.
Please keep in mind that what some find difficult, you might find easy - and vice versa. The stated difficulty is an estimation based on the techniques needed and feedback from testknitters.
