it calls for Sirdar Spree yarn, which is discontinued. Can someone please recommend a similar yarn I could use?
I especially like the sort of “frayed“ look it has. I would welcome any and all suggestions for a similar yarn that might be available.
Thank you
But perhaps if you search boucle yarns you might find something you like, I don’t think you’ll get exactly the tattly eyelash kind of ends you want from the discontinued yarn.
I also noticed yarnsub wasn’t too helpful, I think there is more than one sirdar spree as I’ve seen smooth yarns (bulky) and the tatty kind of textured one too. Yarn sub says 6mm needles which is for a heavier weight yarn, your pattern is with 3.35 and 375 mm and the yarn shown 3.75 mm 24 sts per 10 cm, so it’s light DK (or maybe sport, heavy fingering? Im not a yarn weight pro).
Well, I saw this which is perhaps too light but might be worth trying out in a swatch
I’m not promoting these on ebay but if you search theres a few job lots, I’m just using as example, the yarn you need is different from both the yarnsub and ravelry results.
