Yarn: O-Wool Chunky Merino (100% certified organic merino), 146yds/133m per 100g/3.5oz skein. If substituting yarn, a bulky or heavy aran wool without a lot of elasticity is best to avoid differences in gauge between rib detail and the reverse stockinette body. Be sure to swatch in both motifs, and adjust needle size for ribbing if needed to prevent puckering
