MATERIALS

  • 4 skeins of Manos Del Uruguay’s Handspun Semi Solids, 100% Wool. Each skein is 138 yards/ 100 grams. These colors, from top to bottom, are Natural 14, Cameo 52, Slate 25 and Marigold 58.
  • A US 11 (8 mm) straight or 16-inch circular needles
  • If using straight needles: Two US 11 double pointed needles for I-Cord
  • A size J or K crochet hook

Please Note: Manos Del Uruguay’s Maxima, while slightly thinner, would be an excellent alternative for the felting process and would require a change in gauge. We recommend trying a US 10.5 (6.5 mm) knitting needle!
