Exchange one yarn for another

When changing to a different yarn, it is important to maintain the knitting strength. By achieving the same stitch strength as specified in the pattern, you ensure that your project reaches the desired dimensions. Maintaining the same knit strength is usually easier when you choose a yarn with roughly the same run length. Additionally, you can use several strands of a thinner yarn to match the knit strength of a thicker yarn.

It is always recommended to knit a test patch to ensure that you reach the correct knit strength. Note that different yarns have different structures and properties, which gives the garment different expressions. Be aware of this when choosing your yarn for your project.
