Finding your size: The sweater has a positive ease on 10-15 cm in size XS-L, and a positive ease at 5-15 cm in size XL-XXL. This means, that if you have a bust measure at 101, you must pick size L.  

Yarn:  Worked in two strands: 

Strand 1: A thin tread, the kind we normally call a hatched thread (lace weight), approx. 200 m/25 g or 400 m/50 g.  

This could be  

Silk mohair (different brands)  

There is also loads of glittery yarns with a similair weight. 

I myself used Fraya Charming Glitter (500 m/50 g) on some rows. It could also be Make it Tweed by Rico.  

Collect your scraps and add something if you think it is needed.  

Strand 2: A thicker thread between 100-300 m/50 g (DK to Light Fingering)  

This could be fat mohair, thinner mohair like Bella by Permin, a classic woolen yarn like Peruvian Highland Wool or Pernilla by Filcolana, a classic sock yarn, fringes like Lammy Salsa, boucle, blow yarn like Drops Air. It could also be a glittery yarn like Lammy Lurex.  

All beloved leftovers and special yarn are very welcome!
