It is possible to achieve quite a wide range of gauges with this yarn. A tighter gauge (more sts per cm\/inch) will create a denser fabric and a looser gauge (fewer sts) will create a drapier fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf you are substituting yarn for a pattern, we recommend comparing the meterage.
