Yarn Alternatives for The Soft Tee
The Soft Tee really changes character depending on whether you use firm cotton, fluffy mohair, soft linen blend, etc. – and it's very personal which yarn you love 🧶
That's why we've tested the pattern in many different yarn types (thank you to our talented test knitters), and you can therefore safely substitute the yarn with another quality from the list below.
