For an extra cosy and luxurious yarn combination, try working together 4 strands of DROPS Kid-Silk. Shown in this sample are colours 33 rust, 35 chocolate and 2 strands of 36 bordeaux.
With a knitting gauge of about 11 stitches = 10 cm = 4" using 8 mm = US 11 needles, this combination is a perfect fit for our Yarn Group E patterns.
Remember however that knitting tension varies from person to person and that the suggested needle size is only a guide. You can adjust the needle size to get a different tension - or match the tension recommended in the pattern you are working with. Just make a swatch!Colours combined:

DROPS Kid-Silk 35, chocolate + DROPS Kid-Silk 36, bordeaux + DROPS Kid-Silk 36, bordeaux
