Recommended Yarns (Pattern Version)

Yarn A
Yarn A was used to make the hermit crab’s shell. For the sample shown, four strands of lace-weight hand-dyed yarn were held together. The hand-dyed yarn sample used is from Byeolhaesol Yarn.

Yarn B & C
To achieve a soft, fluffy texture, Yarn B was held together with Yarn C, a lace-weight mohair, throughout the project. For the sample shown, an unidentified mohair yarn from my stash was used as Yarn C.
