Five balls of Lily Sugar'n Cream Ombres (655 m) are replaced by 6 balls of Peaches & Creme Solids, and five balls of Peaches & Creme Solids (550 m) by 5 balls of Lily Sugar'n Cream Ombres. Always convert by length, never by weight or by number of balls.
Drape, fibre and texture
Both yarns share the same fibre family: Lily Sugar'n Cream Ombres is 100 % cotton and Peaches & Creme Solids is 100 % cotton, so they wash, block and wear in a similar way. Cotton is inelastic and absorbent: stitches look crisp and defined, the fabric holds its shape in amigurumi, bags and dishcloths, but garments can feel heavy and stretch downwards when wet.
With such similar density, Lily Sugar'n Cream Ombres and Peaches & Creme Solids will give fabrics of comparable weight and drape at the same gauge; any difference in hand will come mainly from the fibre.
They also share the same construction (Plied), so stitch definition and the way the yarn behaves on the hook should feel familiar when you switch.
Hook size and gauge
Both ball bands recommend the same hook, 5 mm, so you can start your swatch with the hook size the pattern already calls for.
Both labels give the same reference gauge of 20 stitches in 10 cm, a strong sign that a pattern will come out the same size with either yarn.
