Yarn and Materials

This pattern is specifically designed to be knitted using Sirdar Jewelspun with Wool Chunky yarn in shade 204. Jewelspun with Wool is a wool blend yarn in chunky weight that mimics the appearance of hand-spun yarns while offering a soft, comfortable feel. The yarn comes in jewel-like tones and is categorized as a quick-knit option due to its chunky weight. The pattern requires 3 to 4 balls of yarn depending on the size being knitted. Sirdar is an established British yarn company founded in West Yorkshire in 1880, known for its heritage in hand knitting yarns and patterns.
