Nurture Yardage

Shibui Knits Lunar 1, 1, 2, (2, 2, 2) {2, 2, 2} skeins (401 yards / 365 meters per 50 g) 60% Merino / 40 % silk; held double.

OR 160, 200, 210, (240, 260, 300) {330, 350, 390} yards / 146, 182, 192, (220, 238, 274) {302, 320, 356} meters of comparable fingering weight yarn held single.

For a non wool alternative I recommend Hikoo Cobasi, the elasticized nylon helps it retain it’s shape well.

Choose a yarn that you will enjoy wearing next to skin.

This yardage is just an estimate, depending on the amount of German short rows worked you may require more or less yarn.
