Yarn Notes
The Motifs use around 17/18g / 65m (70y) of each mini, for a total of
420g / 1673m (1831y).
To work the Motif Backgrounds in the same colour, you’ll need approx

The Joining yarn is used to work the final ‘joining’ round (R10) of
each motif and also R1-2 of the Border.
To work the Motif Backgrounds and the final rounds of the
Border (R3-5) all in the same colour you’ll need approx 428g / 1705m
(1866y).
If your yarn is less than 400m (436y) per 100g, your meterage/yardage
requirements may vary.
