I have tried several wool yarns for the patterns. My favorites are Cascade 220, HandpaintedYarn.com, and Peece Fleece.

It’s very important to use 100% wool yarn for longies. Superwash wool will not work.

Cascade 220:
I love Cascade 220 for shorties & longies. It’s easy to work with and knits up beautifully. There are
many, many colors to choose from and it’s easily found at most local yarn shops as well as online.

Plymouth Galway:
Another very nice yarn worsted weight 100% wool yarn. Available in many colors and works nicely for our patterns.

I really love these yarns. I made a pair of shorties for my son with their “Noche Lunar” and they just begged to
be embellished. This yarn makes wonderful shorties or longies for naps and nighttime. It’s heavier than Cascade 220
and softer than Peace Fleece. It’s very soft.
