MATERIALS

  • Main Color (MC): 2 skeins of Purl Soho’s Posy, 75% superwash merino, 15% cashmere, and 10% nylon. Each skein is 159 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 203 yards required. We used Heirloom White. (NOTE: We no longer offer Posy, but choose from one of our other fingering weight yarns.)
  • Contrast Colors (CC1, 2, and 3): 1 skein of Purl Soho’s Posy, 75% superwash merino, 15% cashmere, and 10% nylon. Approximately 63 total yards required. We used Maple Wood for CC1, Pink Papaya for CC2, and Azalea Glow for CC3.

NOTE: If you’d like to use just one color for the Contrast Color, a single skein of Posy would suffice!
