Hi .. wondering if anyone would know of a substitution for this yarn.  I know it originally came in 1 3/4 oz. balls. 

Thanks.  Janice

i found this on ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/brunswick-wil-owisp the name is right, but it is sport

 

all i know about Brunswick is that the company no longer exists.    Are you wanting to make a pattern that uses Will o'wisp yarn?  If it gives a stitch gauge that should be helpful.

Hi .. I'd like to make a baby blanket from Family Circle .. November 1983.  It has the Best-Selling crafts from the top 12 yarn companies in it.  The one I'd like to try is called, "Brunswick's Crocheted Bunny Baby Blanket.  You use a afghan crochet hook, size H.  The gauge is:  5 afghan stitches =1", 4 rows = 1".  Thanks.  Janice

Here are some tunisian patterns that use an H hook http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#craft=crochet&view=captioned_thumbs&pa=tunisian&sort=best&pc=blanket&hooks=5.0mm

Maybe you can see what yarns have been used to reach a similar gauge.

Magiccrochetfan .. I found one type of yarn that was very close in gauge.  It was Loops and Thread yarn.  Thanks.  Janice
