Berroco Yarn—NaturaLin

9 skeins
Approximately 1035 yards-(946.6 meters) are required

For your cover-up 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.

FOR A SUBSTITUTE YARN
