Gradient Drift Blanket
by Purl Soho
MATERIALS
- Yarn A: 1 of Purl Soho’s Nine-Note Bundles. One bundle includes 9 skeins of 80% extra fine merino wool and 20% baby alpaca yarn. Each bundle is 900 yards/ 450 grams; approximately 725 total yards required. We used Tidewater for one blanket, and Penny for the other.
- Yarn B: 6 skeins of Purl Soho’s Note, 80% extra fine merino wool and 20% baby alpaca yarn. Each skein is 200 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 1,200 total yards required. We used Dark Denim with Tidewater, and Purple Heath with Penny.
- US 6 (4 mm), 32- or 40-inch circular knitting needles
NOTE: We used every last yard of Yarn B for our blankets! To avoid running short, be sure to check your gauge, reuse your swatch yarn, and keep tails short. Or, consider ordering an extra skein of Yarn B. If you don’t end up needing it, you can return unwound yarn for a refund within 30 days of purchase, or within 6 months, for store credit. Our Return Policy has all the details!
