Hi! I like the hat, but Hobby Lobby is a brand I can’t find. What weight and how many yards per skein? I would like to make this. Thank you!

Hello, @Chrystalkay! Thank y for your comment. I’m glad you like the hat. I used a Worsted Weight (4 Medium American) yarn. Each skein I had was 355 yards in solid colors. But, you don’t need that much to make this hat.
I believe a yarn like Big Twist at JoAnn Fabrics would suffice. It’s up to you. You just need the listed colors in a Medium, Worsted Weight yarn. 😀

Thank you! Wish I had gotten this a day ago. Just made the long trek to Joanns yesterday…. and they had twist on sale! ….bummer. But I do have plenty of #4 worsted on hand. And thank you for mentioning the yardage. A very important piece of information that many leave out. I have an opened 3 oz that will fill the bill.

One Skein of what I used is 3.5 ounces. Your 3 ounce will definitely work just fine. 🙂
I used the Hobby Lobby brand because I don’t get a rash from this soft yarn as I do with others, and it is approved by Knots Of Love for cancer patients.
