The Yarn I Used…
I made the hat using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick yarn in fisherman and for the poms, I used the same yarn in the colour barley.
This was knit up quite quickly and used only one skein of yarn for the hat and less than one skein for the poms.
Any super bulky weight yarn 06 will be okay to use for this pattern.
