    Measurements

    Notes: I have 2233.66m of handspun weighing921g. It is about 11/12 WPI. My gauge should be 20 sts and 28 rows but it is 21 sts so knitting size 55" . Next time I would decrease the sleeves every 5th row until nearly at the cuff and then every 2nd row until 56 sts left. I would not do a tubular cast off on the body ribbing in handspun.

      This is really lovely and you should be so proud making your own wool too.

        I encourage you to have a go at spinning, it is so relaxing and the possibilities are endless! If I can help in any way, just let me know.
