Each color type has a slightly different length of yarn included in each skein, which is why we don’t say specifically how many skeins you need for each color. This yarn has colors available that are solid, prints/stripes, and metallic. See our other favorite yarns for blankets in this post here! Our beginner crochet blanket can be made with any super bulky weight yarn, but we love Wool Ease Thick and Quick because it’s readily available in craft stores and there are a ton of color options.
