Just two skeins of Lion Brand Gold Leaf will make 8 - 12 ornaments, so grab your two favorites and add some sparkle to your holiday this year! Looking for a more delicate ornament? Try Lion Brand Vanna's Glamour and 4 mm hook instead! Gauge is unimportant, just get the fabric to make ornaments you like!

As for the ornament hooks (because I know you'll ask!), I purchased them at our local Home Depot. I haven't been able to find the same ones online, but I did find some that are similar on Amazon US.
