YARN USED FOR SAMPLE
Yarn Bee - Yarntopia
100% Acrylic
312 yards-(285 meters)    -   4 ounce-(113 grams)
3(3--4) skeins
Small amount of contrasting color for saddle stitching

For this pullover to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
