This pattern was worked using 1 main colour and 13 x 5g balls from an old advent by the dye shack. I used what was left from the 5g balls I had used for the cowl, so really you will only need 2.5g approx
It would also work as a solid colour or in 2 colours. As I said I used hand dyed so when selecting the yarn from here I put west yorkshire spinners as It will work in their yarn too.
