Yarn Suggestions:

The original blanket was made with Chic Sheep by Marly Bird, a 100% merino worsted-weight yarn that I absolutely loved. That yarn line has been discontinued (I know… I’m sad too).

The good news? You can make this blanket with almost any worsted-weight (#4) yarn.

If you’re looking for something similar to Chic Sheep, I recommend:

Knit Picks Swish Worsted – soft superwash wool with beautiful stitch definition, a great stand-in for Chic Sheep.

But honestly, this blanket is very forgiving. You can use:

Wool like Universal Deluxe Worsted or Wool of the Andes Superwash
Wool blends like Caron Simply Me or Berroco Vintage (I absolutely Love this yarn)
Acrylic like Brava or Brava Tweed or Worsted 8 Heathers or Lion Brand Color Theory

As long as it’s a worsted-weight yarn and you have enough yardage, you’re good. The pattern includes a gauge, but for a blanket, gauge affects size and yarn usage more than “fit.” If your blanket ends up a little bigger or smaller, that’s totally fine—just make sure you’ve got enough yarn to finish your color layout.
