The Yarn I Used
I made the ribbed beanie using The Petite Wool in Olive, knit on size 6 mm (US 10) knitting needles.
This yarn is from We Are Knitters and comes in a range of lovely colours.
This yarn is very warm to wear as it is 100% Peruvian wool.
Each ball is 100 GR. Per 140 M.
The yarn weight is bulky/chunky/12 ply.
