Whitney used 2 skeins of the off white color and one each of the other three. It was knit on a US size 4 needle.
Conceptually, it would be possible to knit this sweater on straight needles. You are only knitting it with circulars so that you can fit all of the stitches on. If you're knitting a very small size with a very fine yarn on very long needles, it MIGHT work. Let us know if you try it!
Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the Opal or the Canadian Regal. However if these two yarns are true "4 ply" yarns (gauge-wise), then the Koigu would be the same gauge. --Joelle
