Maybe you know that LOL<br /><br />Many patterns are saying what kind of yarn they use but they also mention that they have so and so much meters of that color.<br />So when you say for example that you used yarn that have 150 meter per 100 gr. I can count how many I need.Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737252069272075883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-8117179700348683652016-07-26T20:32:45.980+02:002016-07-26T20:32:45.980+02:00Hello Carin,
I see you are in the Netherlands, so ...Hello Carin,<br />I see you are in the Netherlands, so you will probably be working in DK-weight yarn, like me. The original blanket was made to use up scraps. Afterwards, I worked out that I used 13 main colours + black. I didn’t use more than 150g of any colour , some colours I used more of and some colours I used less of (I used much less yellow, for example, than green. I love green and mixed it with a lot of the blues and teals.) I needed more black - probably about 200g in total. If I were buying yarn for this afghan, I would probably buy an extra skein of the colours I tend to favour because subconsciously you will find yourself reaching for those colours more often than others. I had yarn left over in all the colours, enough to start my next blanket :-D<br /><br />I hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any other questions.The Gingerbread Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060553716262145464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-5496913942176673552016-07-26T12:54:16.688+02:002016-07-26T12:54:16.688+02:00I bought the pattern, but can you tell me how much...I bought the pattern, but can you tell me how much yarn is needed for this colored one.

It didn't actually take that long...Hi Patrysia,<br />It didn't actually take that long. I did all the circles in the middle first, which is really fast and a great take-along project. Then I did the all the next rounds, then the last bit. I guess it seemed to go quite quckly because choosing the colours was interesting. Sewing it together took two nights, mostly because I set about doing it in a haphazard and disorganised fashion. I should have laid all the motifs out and arranged them, then photographed them and worked from the picture. Instead, I winged it and all the thinking and rearranging took time. Oh well, I'll know better next time!The Gingerbread Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060553716262145464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-54470781543602834542011-03-11T21:01:49.442+01:002011-03-11T21:01:49.442+01:00I love it!
