Choose your Yarn:
![Brava mini packs: A photo of a lot of blue and green mini skeins of Brava yarn on a white background. Text that says "100% Premium Acrylic, 600g/1308 yards; packs of 24 colors, 25g each"](https://ejxjjkak52w.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/brava-mini-packs.png?strip=all&lossy=1)
While we recommend Brava Worsted for this project (so many colors, hard-wearing and washable, and you can’t beat the price), this is also a great opportunity to clean out your stash and use colors you have on hand. Pick many colors or stripe just a few; the choice is up to you!
