Materials:
It has come to my attention that Lions Brand may no longer makes the Jiffy style yarn in
the format that I purchased and used. It was listed as Lion Brand Yarn 450-100 Jiffy
Yarn. It is 100% acrylic that looks like mohair. You may be able to still find it on
amazon.com. Under the “white” color listing were additional colors.

It is NOT the Lion Brand Jiffy thick and quick yarns that they now make. However, while
it is not “hairy” like what I used, the Vanna’s Choice yarns will work. If you don’t mind
using wool, there are several brands that will work, including some of Lions Brand. I
preferred the acrylic yarns to avoid allergies and to avoid any shrinkage should the item
end up being washed! You can see the difference
