For a sweet, lavender combination in cotton and silk try working together DROPS Kid-Silk 09, light lavender and DROPS Safran 70, sweet orchid.
The knitting gauge resulting from this combination is about 17 stitches = 10 cm = 4" using 5,5 mm = US 9 needles, which is a perfect fit for our Yarn Group C patterns.
Remember however that knitting tension varies from person to person and that the suggested needle size is only a guide. You can adjust the needle size to get a different tension - or match the tension recommended in the pattern you are working with. Just make a swatch!
