Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Loopy Star Coaster pattern calls for super bulky yarn (yarn weight category #6), which contributes to the quick completion time and creates a substantial, textured finished piece. The pattern sample shown uses Friends Ribbon yarn in the colorways Gold and Pink Berry Smoothie, sourced from Hobbii.com. This yarn composition consists of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, providing durability and easy care suitable for a frequently-used coaster. One 250-gram (8.8 ounce) ball provides 125 meters (136 yards) of yarn, with the pattern requiring only a single ball for completion, making this an economical project that uses minimal yarn.
