Hi
I have found a beautiful pattern in a knitting magazine using lana
grossa kidlana yarn. I am unfortunately allergic to any wool. Does
anyone know of an alternative??? The tension is 17 stitches and 31 rows
to 10cm on 5mm (uk) needles. The yarn length for 25grams is 125m. If
anyone has any suggestions i would be very grateful.
Thankyou
Aly

This is worsted weight yarn, like Patons Canadiana or Bernat Berella 4. You
may have to adjust the needle size for the correct tension.

I'd call it a heavy worsted weight, more like Aran weight, but since
many non-woollen yarns weigh more than wool, you may want to knit
regular worsted weight or even DK at the same tension.
There is a book coming out soon - "No Sheep For You" - that is all
about knitting with non-woolen yarns and substituting them in
patterns written for wool!
