is there any way you can put the picture of the crocheted item at the top of the page?
Can you tell me a comparable yarn I could use in the place of the one listed? Also perhaps the weight of yarn I should be working with? I LOVE this pattern and the color works.
I also think the pictures of the items should be at top of page
This yarn is a fingering weight (1). You could substitute Red Heart It’s a Wrap, or any sock yarn. Lion Brand and Red Heart (yarnspirations.com) have some fingering weight yarns you could try. Luckily for a wrap, you can play around with it!
If you go to yarnsub.com, you can also enter a yarn and they will suggest some other yarns that are similar. They will want to substitute yarns made of similar materials, however, which can mean more expensive, I think! Hope this helps.
