You will need 150g of West Yorkshire Spinners Re:Treat Chunky (100g/140m/153yds). Note - you only need 1.5 balls of this yarn. Most chunky weight yarn will be suitable, but you will need to calculate the meterage/yardage required for your chosen alternative yarn and work a gauge swatch. ALTERNATIVE YARN: You will need to calculate the meterage/yardage required for your chosen, alternative yarn.
