This project uses less than one skein for the main color and just a couple of ends of a contrast color for the rest, making it a great stash busting, midnight-cast-on project.

Yarn
Spincycle Dream State (100% superwashed American Wool 150 yards/138 meters)

• Main Color - Nostalgia 1 skein
• Contrast Color 1 - Lapis 1 skein
• Contrast Color 2 - Verba Volant 1 skein

Or Approximately

• Main Color - 108 yards / 46 grams
• Contrast Color 1 - 54 yards / 14 grams
• Contrast Color 2 - 12 yards / 4 grams

Note: The unique quality of Dream State knits up closer to a DK weight than a worsted weight for some knitters. You may find that a DK weight yarn (depending on your gauge) will work well for this project too. Your swatch will be your guide.
