The pattern calls for approximately 3 grams of yarn. The original design uses PATONS FAB DK Fruity #2324, a DK weight yarn with specifications of 300 yards (274 meters) per 3.5 ounces (100 grams). However, the pattern is flexible and allows crafters to substitute any yarn of their choice, provided they maintain appropriate tension and needle sizing for their selected yarn weight.
