Reading Yarn Labels with Confidence

Lauren Rad is a former lawyer turned knitwear designer who focuses on soft, romantic designs for knitters who want to escape the everyday. She took up knitting in law school to cope with stress and found deep comfort in the rhythmic repetition of stitching. That sense of peace drives her design philosophy, which centers on patterns that are just interesting enough to be engaging but not so complex that they lead to frequent mistakes.

Lauren lives in California with her husband and elementary schooler. When she’s not knitting, you can usually find her puttering about in her rose garden or collecting sea glass at the beach.

The Knitter's Guide to Yarn Substitution

Lauren Rad

You absolutely do not have to use the same yarn recommended by the designer for a pattern. In fact, I rarely do. What you do need is to know what you’re doing if you plan to change things up. To help you do that, I’ve written out this guide to things you should consider before choosing a new yarn for your project.

Whether you’re focused on budget, environmentally friendly aspects, range of colors, heritage wool breeds, or a luxury experience, you’ll find all the information you need in this handy PDF guide.
