Using Puno Winikunka

Fingering is a fine yarn weight. On needles of around 2.5 mm it gives a thin, supple fabric that suits light tops, scarves and shawls. The cotton is organically grown and is GOTS-certified. You can both knit and crochet the yarn. Crocheted fabric is usually a little denser and firmer than knitted, so it is worth working a swatch with a slightly larger needle or hook.

Tension and quantities

Pascuali gives 27 stitches and 32 rows over 10 × 10 cm. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. The length of approx. 200 m per 50 g helps you plan quantities: if your pattern gives the requirement in metres, divide it by 200 to find out how many balls you need. If the requirement is given in grams, this only works when the pattern's yarn has a similar length, so compare the metre figures in that case. Buy all the balls for a project together where possible, so the colour stays consistent throughout.
