NOTE: For the Crib size, we used 2 full skeins of Line Weight in Heirloom White. To make sure you don’t run short, work your gauge swatch in a Color Combo that doesn’t use Heirloom White and be sparing with your ends. To be extra, extra safe, feel free to pick up an extra skein of this color. Wait to wind it into a ball so that, if you don’t end up using it, you can return it within six months for store credit!
