Yarn
Aran weight
The samples were knit with De Rerum Natura Cyrano, which is a woolly and plush aran weight merino. It feels thicker than a standard worsted weight yarn. Select a yarn that has approximately 164yds / 150m per 100g skein.
You could also try holding 1 strand of DK weight yarn together with 1 strand of fingering weight yarn to get an aran weight gauge.
