Note:
The yarn used for the cuffs and pompoms must be machine washable and dryable.
The yarn used for the head must be 100% wool or mostly wool with a bit of mohair.
Sometimes a wool that is bleached (usually white or a very pale color) will not felt, as the bleaching process damages the fibers. Use off-white instead.
ALL COLORS USED IN THE SAMPLE ARE LISTED IN THE PATTERN.
FOR CUFF AND POMPOM ONLY
A: Brown Sheep - Lamb's Pride Superwash Worsted
100% superwash wool—must be machine washable and dryable
3.5 ounces-(100 grams) 200-(183 m) yards each
FOR HEAD ONLY
B: through W: Brown Sheep - Lamb's Pride Worsted—must be 100% wool or
wool with a bit of mohair
85% wool—15% mohair
4 ounces-(113 grams) 190 yards-(174 m) each
In other words: There are 3 golf club covers, each has 24 colored squares a total of 72 squares. We used 22 different colors (repeating 2 colors on each cover). You can use more or less colors. Pick a color for your cuff—SUPERWASH—that matches one of your squares of the FELTING YARN.
Sometimes a wool that is bleached (usually white or a very pale color) will not felt, as the bleaching process damages the fibers.
Each square requires approximately 5 yards-(4.5 m) of felting yarn, except the yarn that matches the superwash wool. You will need approximately 65 yards (42 grams) of that color for the first 2 rows after the superwash cuff, at least 3 boxes and the top decreasing rows are worked with this color felting yarn.
For your golf club covers to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE. The gauge does not have to be as precise as a clothing article. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
