NOTE: For the Large Throw, we only used a little bit of the twelfth skein of the Main Color. If you don’t end up needing it, you can return unwound yarn for a refund within 30 days of purchase, or within 6 months, for store credit. Our Return Policy has all the details! Also, we used full skeins of Colors A + B for the Small Throw and Colors C + D for the Large Throw. To avoid running short, please double check your gauge and be conservative with tails!
