YARN: worsted or bulky [#4 or #5] yarn as appropriate to your loom in 6 colors. The sample was made with Red Heart With Love using 1 skein each of teal, lavender, light green, dark green, 2 skeins of tan and 3 skeins of burgundy. Total weight in this gauge and yarn is 37 oz. see chart in pattern for yarn estimates for others versions.
