Jennifer B.
The yarn looks wonderful.Your wrap design looks gorgeous. I hope it can be made blanket sized. I live in a hot climate and love afghans with a light open look. Take care.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Jennifer! Yes, you can absolutely make it blanket sized - that would be so pretty! ♥ The stitch multiple is given in the pattern if you want to do the math to get the chain and row count for your preferred blanket size, or you could use the long chain method (one of my favorites, as I don't love counting long chains): https://www.mooglyblog.com/long-starting-chains-made-easy/

Is it soft or rough?
Tamara Kelly
I find it very soft! Not plushy like chenille, you can tell there is natural fiber in there, but I like the feel of it. 🙂
Jannie
Where can I buy this in the UK please?
Tamara Kelly
RedHeart.com and LoveKnitting.com I believe. 🙂
Laurie
I had already subscribed to your blog, when I saw your new Italian wrap on Pinterest! I love it! Thank you so much for this pattern. I believe you might have another one out also by now. I love your videos! You come to the point and speak very clearly. Thanks for that!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Laurie! 😀
Pamela Roush
What can I crochet with just one cake? I purchased three cakes, but in three different colors. Thank you!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Pamela! If you don't want to combine any of the colors, all these patterns would use just one cake:
(note that some of these call for multiple colors, but you can just keep going with one color too, and this yarn is great for these since it isn't a solid)
