You'll need super bulky weight yarn, totaling 93 yards (85 meters) for the smallest size, increasing to 209 yards (191 meters) for the largest. We used Cape May Fiber Super Bulky Superwash yarn, crafted from 100% superwash merino wool, ensuring softness and ease of care. Each skein contains 126 yards and weighs 225 grams. For the stunning color, we recommend “Ephemera,” a captivating blend of white adorned with rose, gold, and teal splotches, complemented by speckles of black cherry and sage. Depending on the size you choose, gather 1 skein for the smallest sizes, and up to 2 skeins for the larger ones.
