Yarn Suggestions:
5 skeins Malabrigo Rios (different solids or multicolor or combination of solids and multicolors)
4 skeins of Lang Yarns Frida (240 yds each), two separate colorways, let the yarn do the color work for you!
6 skeins, different colors, Brooklyn Tweed Shelter (these are 140 yds each but we are feeling wild and bold!)

If your yarn is fewer than 150 yards per skein, you can simply adjust the # of skeins accordingly. Some suggestions include: Woolstok worsted, Rowan Cotton Cashmere, and Quince & Co Lark
