Is there a good substitute
Is there a good substitute for Patons Lace? Patons Lace has been discontinued and I cannot find it anywhere.
Hi hamoore,
Hi hamoore,
I would use fine 2 or light 3 yarn. You may use any yarn you like. The pattern looks better using a thin yarn in my opinion. Happy crochet!
