Materials:
– Cotton blend medium weight yarn (4), I used Lion Brand Ice Cream in “Rainbow” (47% cotton, 53% acrylic), about 3-3.5 oz, 200-225 yards needed (1 skein). I really enjoyed working with this yarn. The color changes happened naturally and lasted long enough to add nice color contrasts to the fringe.
