YARN:
Scheepjes Stone Washed XL - Aran
M - Main colour x 2 balls
C - Contrast colour x 1 ball
I recommend holding the C yarn with a strand of 4ply or fingering cream cotton, such as 25g of Scheepjes Catona. This gives the webbing more structure
B - Small amount of black chunky yarn

FINISHED SIZE: 30cm x 25cm x 13cm (12in x 10in x 5in)
