How to find a yarn alternative?
As a starting point for all Athene Knitwear's patterns, you can choose exactly the type of yarn you want. The only thing to be aware of when choosing is the knitting strength. You must find a type of yarn that complies with the knitting strength specified in the recipe. In this way, you are ensured that the size ultimately fits the measurements given in the pattern.

Budget-friendly yarn:
When we talk about a more budget-friendly alternative, it is a good idea to omit the mohair in the sweater. It is typically the one that makes the jersey more expensive.
HOWEVER, if you love mohair like I do, go for a more budget-friendly kind. For example I myself love Drops Kid-Silk, as I think it delivers high quality at a low price. Find Drops Kid-Silk here.
