Don't know if you've already done it - or it you're still taking these, but - The Unnatural

Your knitting answers have been amazing, so I was hoping I could ask something as well? I love this pattern, but the recommended yarn is just way to expensive for me and to have shipped to the UK. I'm having trouble working out what weight yarn it actually is and how much I'd need, so i was wondering if you could either recommend other wool to use or help me work out where to start looking? Thanks! :) purlsoho com/create/2015/05/22/over-the-top-top/

Oh, I love this top!  But yeah – while Purl Soho makes some absolutely gorgeous designs, that making their patterns can get very pricey if you use the yarn they suggest.

Ravelry describes their recommended yarn (Purl Soho “Line Weight”) as a light fingering weight yarn (a 3-ply yarn that fits between lace weight and fingering weight in terms of thickness) that’s 100% Merino.  If I were making this I’d probably make it with an affordable fingering weight yarn – or more likely, a sport weight yarn – just because I don’t think I have it in me to knit an entire top out of light fingering weight yarn.  A quick look on Ravelry shows that most of the folks who’ve made this top have made it with fingering or sport weight yarn. That said, making that sort of change without going up in needle size would make the top less drapey.

As far as recs for affordable fingering weight and sport weight yarns I’m a fan of KnitPicks and Quince & Co., but I don’t know what their shipping rates are like to the UK.  

I hope this is helpful!  If anyone else has any suggestions please chime in.

ETA:  from @aaugh:  “Re: yarn options for the PurlSoho pattern... I don't believe KnitPicks ships to the UK (at least they didn't used to), but Nordic Mart is comparable in price and quality.”
