(Details in pattern.) **SUPER BULKY #6 WEIGHT YARN:** Color A: 440 - 450 yards Color B: 215 - 225 yards Color C: 320 - 330 yards I used 5 skeins of [Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick][2] in the sample shown: Color A: 2 skeins Night Sky #110 Color B: 1 skein Whipped Cream #098 Color C: 2 skeins Olive Branch #172 This pattern will also work well with [Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick][3] or [Lion Brand Hometown][4] super bulky. **[See my blog post about the pattern][5] for more details on yarn options and quantity needed.** This design will work with many yarn color combinations. To create contrast, consider using two medium or dark yarn colors paired with one light colorway.

The kit includes a PDF digital pattern and 5 skeins of [Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick][7] yarn.
