I used Yarn Bee Pearlspun, Medium 4-Weight Yarn, for the three-color Blanket. I used the colors Pearl (four 3.5-oz Skeins), Sky Yarn Bee Easygoing (three 3.5-oz skeins), and Citrine Dream (three 3.5-oz skeins). I used the recommended hook size, an “ I-9 5.5-mm” hook. The finished size was 40” wide x 52” long (101cm x 132cm).
