As yarn lovers we all have leftover bits of yarn and often same colors but different dye lots. Half a skein or less seems impossible to throw away and simply could NOT be enough to use in a blanket. Not the case with Fair Isle Flair; some colorwork sections require as little as 8 yds/7m of yarn.

You will be excited to have tidbits of stash just to knit more sweater-like blankets!
