NOTE: If making more than one piece, determine how many skeins you’ll need by adding up the yardages required for each color, then dividing by 120 (the number of yards per skein). If you’re making oppositely colored pieces like we did, be sure to add the yardages of the MC of one piece to the CC of the other piece. If you want your pieces to be the same colors, simply add MC of one piece to the MC of the other.
