::::::Required Materials::::::
Yarn: Yardages listed are generous estimates. It's always better to err on the side of too much yarn rather than too little. When in doubt, buy the extra skein for insurance. In worsted weight yarn you will need approximately 300 (330, 370, 430) yards for a long sleeved sweater. If you choose a separate color for the border it should be about 20% of your total yardage.
