Use instead

Your pattern uses 10 balls of Major.

Same weight and fiber family, and close in length per 100 g. Closest first.

Same length: 3,280 yd. The 12 closest of 45. Buy one extra ball to be safe.

How these are chosen

• Same weight: the weight number when the source gives one, or the brand's weight word (DK, Worsted) when it doesn't.
• Length per 100 g within 10% of this yarn's, when both list a ball weight.
• Gauge within 10%, when both list one.
• Same fiber family: animal fibers (wool, alpaca, silk…), plant fibers (cotton, linen, viscose…) or synthetics (acrylic, nylon…), whichever this yarn has most of.
• Closest first: still made before discontinued, then more fiber in common, then closer length per 100 g.
• Among yarns that match just as closely, ones sold by our partner shops come first.

Knit a swatch before you start: a different fiber can change your gauge. To add a safety margin, use Skeins for a yarn swap.
