Subject: Re: QUESTION, Valentine Heart Pillow
Hi Ansley
I tried to email in reply to your question, but got an error message from Yahoo saying there was a problem. So I'm trying to reach you here instead, since this is a Valentine's project and that's tomorrow!
You asked:
How much yarn for the Valentine's pillow?
I said:
Oh my goodness, that's not included under the yarn details in the pattern?!? I'm sorry I don't
have a copy with me to check, but I definitely used two balls of the GGH Muench Goa for each pillow, with just a little left over.
For the embroidery yarn, one ball is enough to do many pillows, but don't skimp out and get the cotton embroidery floss just because you can get it in tiny amounts; it absolutely stinks for this project. Wool is best, something fluffy at least if you won't use wool. Shiny smooth yarn sinks into the stitches and is frustrating to use for this item.
Hope that helps,
