Bonjour Céline, il vous faut calculer le métrage total nécessaire en Nepal, c'est la quantité qu'il vous faudra dans chacune des 2 laines Puna et Kid-Silk. Pensez à bien vérifier votre échantillon et à ajuster la taille des aiguilles si nécessaire. Bon tricot!

Dear Christa, could you tell us which pattern you are working, since this is a lesson for all patterns? In any case, you should check if you can obtain the gauge stated in the pattern with your yarn and then you should not have any trouble working according to the pattern (although the texture may vary depending on the original yarn). If you need to recalculate stitches, you can check out the following lesson: https://www.garnstudio.com/lesson.php?id=25&cid=19

Dera Mrs Polin, not sure what you mean here sorry, this explains how to change yarns and use an alternative instead, ie how to calculate the new amount of yarn required for a pattern. If you need help with your knitting machine, you might have to ask your yarn store or may be a knitting machine forum. Happy knitting!

Dear Mrs Lewis, Bright Sand and Shore Cardigan is worked with a yarn group B = Merino Extra Fine, this means Baby Merino is here not an alternative, you can choose any other yarn group B (use our yarn converter). Happy knitting!

Hei Mette. DROPS Air tilhører garngruppe C, så da kan du erstatte DROPS Air med andre garn i samme garngruppe, f.eks DROPA Alaska, DROPS Nepal og DROPS Paris. Men husk at strikke/heklefastheten må stemme med det som står i den aktuelle oppskriften du skal strikke/hekle. mvh DROPS Design

Dear Jenniefer, yes, you can adjust the gauge in this way, working 1 or 2 sizes less (you may need to check the measurements of your work and gauge to select the size). If you use the gauge of Paris, you will have approx. 14 treble crochets in 10 cm. Take into account that the work will have a different texture since it will be thicker. Happy crocheting!

Hej Ronja, det betyder at du skal bruge samme antal gram, men at du skal strikke DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk med dobbelt tråd :)

DROPS Design vastasi:

Dear Hilary, if your pattern is worked with 2 strands yarn group A the tension is completely different as if you would work it with only 1 yarn Baby Alpaca Silk (group A), you have then to calculate entirely the pattern again to adapt it to your own tension. You can get help from similar patterns with the same tension - use our search engine to help you. Happy knitting!

Dear Allison, you can use any other yarn from yarn group C or 2 strands yarn group A, try out our yarn converter to get a list of yarns you can use (and the matching amount). Happy knitting!

DROPS Design vastasi:

Dear Mrs Noble, sure you can replace 2 strands of Alpaca with 1 strand Brushed Alpaca Silk but then you will have to work with 1 extra strand Alpaca (or any other yarn group A) and work with 2 strands (1 x C + 1 x A) - you might have to make a swatch to check the new fabric and remember to check your tension. Happy knitting!

Dear Mrs Stok, Lima and Sky belong the the same yarn group B since they have the same thickness, but they don't have the same meterage, Lima is 100 m for 50 g while Sky is 190 m for 50 g (reason why you will require a different number of balls for the same pattern), but you should be able to get the same tension, try out our swatch and adjust crochet/needle size if neede (read more here). Happy knitting!

Bonjour Mme Nuttens, vous pouvez utiliser Baby Alpaca Silk (même composition que Lace) ou un autre fil du groupe A, pensez juste à bien vérifier votre tension et si la texture vous convient. Bon tricot!

Buonasera Loredana, DROPS Muskat e Safran appartengono a dei gruppi filati diversi rispetto a DROPS Paris, per cui il campione non corrisponderebbe. Potrebbe al massimo utilizzare il filato DROPS Safran a 2 fili, controllando che il suo campione corrisponda a quello indicato. Buon lavoro!

Hola Teresa, necesitarías 4 ovillos de Andes (100gr=90m) para sustituir 10 ovillos de Polaris (100gr= 36m). Son 360m/90m = 4 ovillos.

Dear Vivian, we are not familiar with these yarns. To substitute the yarn in one of our patterns, make sure that the gauge of your yarn matches the one necessary for working the pattern.
