Notes

Took a little over 29 hours, and about 370 yds of yarn.

Lessons learned

  • Cut the yarn into two balls per color. The tangling is crazy otherwise.
  • Ladderback jacquard isn’t so bad at all.
  • Do try very hard to end ladders with the same color. They can be pretty noticeable otherwise. :(
