Jacket and skirt trimmed with yarn loops. (Jacket and skirt are listed on same entry because yardage is only given for the set as a whole, but if someone makes this pattern and can estimate yardage for each, they’re welcome to separate it out.)

Pattern calls for eleven 165-yard skeins of Tiana, sixteen 130-yard skeins of Mikado, and four 300-yard spools Magic Yarn.

Most of jacket and skirt are crocheted with two strands of Tiana and one strand of Magic Yarn or one strand of each yarn held together.
