Samples made with :

Hobbii Seashell, 40 % cotton & 35 % viscose & 25 % linen, 50g/150m/164yds, colour 03 Sand, 8 (8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15) balls.

(8 entire balls are needed to make size L, 9 entire balls are needed for size XL, therefor I recommend buying an extra ball of yarn to make your gauge swatch or just to be sure you will have enough yarn).
