Materials you'll need:
- Yarn: Choose a lace weight yarn for the best results, with 950 yards required for the wrap and 420 yards for the scarf.
- Recommended Model: Madelinetosh Yarns, Tosh Lace made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, boasting 1162 yards per hank; the sample used 1.3 hanks for a generous size.
- Needle Size: US #4 needles are ideal for this project to achieve the perfect tension and appearance.

Additional items to consider: Although optional, using stitch markers and a row counter is highly recommended to help keep track of your progress. For a polished finish, consider investing in blocking wires and pins to enhance the final look of your beautifully crafted chevron wrap.
