yarn, hook and tools

This pattern has the option to make it with 2 different yarn sizes:

• super chunky yarn, or
• 10ply / worsted weight yarn.

The blanket size is the same for both yarn sizes, and the number of stitches and rows changes (the super chunky version has bigger, more textural stitches).

The yarn, hook and tools that are needed depends on the yarn size.

about the yarns

Homelea Bliss and Homelea Happy are made from soft merino wool that is fully grown and processed in Australia with no overseas processing (it’s uncommon for an Australian wool yarn to not have some overseas processing). They both feel soft and last well with regular use, and are free from acrylic, synthetics and superwash.
