So, according to the website, three colors are “perfect” and two are too much of one thing or another, and two are “too light” in saturation. I think that’s a good blend.
So, 14 balls of yarn plus S&H is $33.85 (with no sales tax).

Cast on 56 stitches and slipping the last stitch knitwise on every row.
Gauge is slightly off … I’m getting 28 st/4 inches, which adds about an additional inch. I’m not super worried about running out of yarn, so I’m going to live with the extra 8 stitches.

Can do about 80 rows of each color per ball, with some yardage left over for tassels.
I say for the longer color repeats, prepare to switch to the second ball after you get to the halfway mark on the scarf, if starting from the longer purple side for season 12.
This accounts for a very short, no more than six-inch tail between color changes.
I’m still nervous one ball of gold (Turmeric) will not be enough when adding in the six yards (24 feet) needed for 24, 1-foot tassels.

Pulled tassel loop with wrong side facing so the loop would be on right side.
