  5. Would really love to know how much yarn used and the gauge??? And what, please, is the difference between yon and yrn? I understand yo - but not sure either of these is that. Thank you! This is so pretty, but I need to know these things before I start. The yarn and I are waiting :-) Jeannie

    1. They are all versions of yo. It depends whether you are knitting or purling afterwards. It will basically occur naturally so that the wool is in the right place for the next stitch.
