Hello everyone,
I’ve found a pattern on Ravelry called Floozy Too by Libby Johnson, it’s a sweater. It asks for ‘yarnfloozy Merino silk cashmere fingering (4ply)’ 70%merino wool, 20%silk,10%goat cashmere.
Yarnsub is no help to me and I haven’t a clue myself. I like the idea of merino and silk but having said that what substitutes can I use please, as I’ve said I’ve no idea myself and would really appreciate your help.
Lovely yoke pattern and sweater!
Even though Yarn Sub doesn’t have your yarn you can still search for a merino, silk, cashmere (or any subset of these) fingering and find many suggestions. Clicking on one of them gives you an idea of the qualities of the given yarn.
Thank you
expressionfiberarts.com has some beautiful wool/silk blends.

Find a yarn you like / can afford with the same gauge, and check the yardage against that required by the pattern. You can Google “merino silk cashmere yarn” and get many, many options! Leave out the cashmere for MUCH better prices.
I love that the colorwork yoke is mosaic, rather than stranded!
