Below you'll find some yarn and sizing information on the Crux Cardigan that I designed for Pom Pom Issue 36! Please find your size and check the yardage to make sure you don't over- or under-purchase.
Preordered yarn will take UP TO 3-4 weeks to dye and ship. You can buy issue 36 from Pom Pom, or through Ravelry, or from your favorite LYS. The background yarn in the pattern is Universal Yarn Cotton Supreme DK, and can be bought directly from Universal Yarn.
