It's worked in 3 ply fingering and you will need 16 or 18 skeins of main color, 4 skeins
of contrast, which were probably 1 oz in weight, which would make the total amount
needed 20 ozs. (567g) or 22 ozs. (624g) depending on sleeve length.
Pair of No. 10 (3.25mm) needles. I buckle for the belt,
press studs and buttons
