We have created some yarn bundles with the suggested yarn. Click the image below to see them.



If you want to use a different yarn or other colors thats great! You may need to special order. We order on the 1st and 15th of the month, and it takes about 10 days to get yarn in stock! So if you can order by December 15th, we'll have plenty of time to get your yarn in for the first class.
