I have additional color & temperature charts that can be found for free on my blog.

How much yarn in each color you need will depend on the weather (which in most cases is very unpredictable). I would suggest starting with at least 2 skeins of each color (besides for the border.)

I used a total of 30 skeins for the entire blanket. 11 skeins of Almond for the border and 19 skeins for the temperature colors.

The blanket used a total of approx. 6,500 yards of worsted weight yarn. I used approx. 2,400 yards for the border and the rest for the colors.
