Your yarn choices
MODE at Rowan Chunky Wool 100g. Thorpeness is photographed in Primrose 017; Lowestoft is photographed in Winter 011.
Thorpeness uses two 100g balls with a single strand. Lowestoft uses seven 100g balls with yarn held double; seven is the total required, so do not double the displayed quantity. Each addition supplies one selected project.

Before you begin
Can I use my own tools or pattern?
Yes. Select only what you need. Check needle diameters and circular lengths before choosing own tools or cables. Own cables removes the cables and any connector from the package, while retaining the needle tips.

Add one project at a time, then return to choose the next. Include the leaflet once and untick it for later additions. Buy the full yarn quantity for each project.
