Garthenor Number 3 is woollen spun into a round and bouncy three-ply yarn. It would love to be cabled and will show excellent stitch definition throughout.

Number 3, as a DK weight, is able to produce a denser fabric than Number 2, whilst still keeping the light and airy qualities. Its construction means that it will drape fairly lightly.

Number 3 is the ideal candidate for a wide variety of sweaters and wardrobe staples. Garments will achieve their full beauty once they’ve been wet blocked, as the stitches relax.

Note that Tundra is a marled yarn, and that Garthenor recommends swatching any of the marled yarns for cabling and other textured stitches, before you start your project.
