Changing yarns

Hello my name is Vickie I have a pattern that calls for three strand of mohair could I substitute it for DK cotton /linen yarn??

Hi Vickie. What is the name of your pattern?
It’ll depend on the thickness of the mohair. Ultimately, you’ll need to knit a swatch with the DK yarn and measure your gauge over the middle 4 inches. That’ll also give you an idea of the feel and drape of the knit fabric and its suitability for the project.
