I used a fine merino wool and cashmere blend for the violet and merino wool and nylon blend for the white.
The merino wool and cashmere is so soft and cozy, because you only need on skein (50g or more) you can spend a little on the yarn. If you are on a tight budge all my patterns you can use whatever yarn you can afford keeping with the correct yarn weight. You need to be able to work in the round, knit, purl, slip sts, and k2tog. It is super easy and you can make 2 in a very short time. I finally figured out a thumb and I think the thumb designs is my go to from now on, it super easy and looks great. I had a lot of fun designing these and giving them as gifts. Everyone Loved them!!
