Yarn requirements (from pattern): 8 ounces (225 grams) of bulky yarn at about 10 wraps/inch and small amounts of light and dark yarn for color pattern. Irene used a gray singles for the main color … and small amounts of light and dark yarn for the color work. We tested this pattern in commercial Lopi.
