Student Supplies:

yarn
A (used for the swatches): approximately 120 yds of a light colored wool with crisp stitch definition that knits to the gauge noted below for yarns A and B. A heavy sport or light dk weight yarn should produce the required gauge. Please have approximately 30 yds of this yarn available to use during the class.
B (to be used in the class): 20–25 yds of the same yarn as A, but in a color that contrasts with yarn A. This yarn should not be so dark that it is difficult to read the stitches.
C (to be used in the class): 20–25 yds of a wool in a color and hand comparable to yarn B that knits at the gauge noted for yarn C. A fingering weight wool should produce the required gauge.
D (to be used in the class): 5 yds of a fine gauge yarn with a crisp hand in a color and luster that contrasts sharply with yarns A and B. This yarn will be used as a waste yarn and will be removed from the piece once it is finished.

needles
Gauge needle: whatever size needle is needed to obtain the gauge noted below for yarns A and B. For most knitters this will be a 6 or 5 US / 4 mm or 3.75 mm needle.
1, 2, 3 and 4 sizes smaller than the gauge needle.
1 size larger than the gauge needle.
The size needed to obtain the gauge for yarn C, if this size is not already included in those listed above.
1 size smaller and 1 size larger than needed to obtain gauge for yarn C, if these sizes are not already included in those listed above.
0 US / 2.0 mm: 1 circular at least 24” long or 2 double point needles at least 10” long.
PLEASE NOTE: circular needles 24” or longer are recommended for the techniques you will be learning.
If you are more comfortable working with straight needles, multiple long double points may be substituted for the circulars. If you do not have access to all the needles listed above, bring what you have. Please do not purchase needles for this class unless you anticipate using them in the future.
