YARN REQUIREMENTS

Please note these are yarn estimates. The amount used will depend on yarn, your personal gauge, and any modifications you make.

C2: 301 yds / 274m

C3: 317 yds / 288m

C4: 328 yds / 298m

C5: 328 yds / 298m

C6: 256 yds / 233m

OPTIONAL FRINGE FINISHING will require either approximately 79 yds / 72m of 1 color or multiple colors totaling approximately 79 yds / 72m. Sample shown used C1 for fringe. C1 estimate includes fringe yardage.
