A knitted shrug is a type of garment that is worn over the shoulders, often as a layering piece or as a way to add warmth to an outfit. As a general rule of thumb, you will need at least 400-500 yards of yarn for a small to medium-sized rectangular wrap, and up to 1000 yards or more for a larger wrap.

However, the exact amount of yarn you will need will depend on the specific pattern you are using, as well as your gauge and knitting style. Conversely, if you are using a lighter-weight yarn or a simpler stitch pattern, you may be able to complete your shrug with less yarn.

Aunt Kate was a homely character who appeared in the newspapers of John Leng & Co in Dundee, notably the People’s Journal (1859-1986) which had a wide Scottish readership. Aunt Kate appeared around the later 1880s as a regular feature before having her own Aunt Kate series which ran in two series from late 1890-1910s and then 1933 onwards.
