Selected YARNS Suggested for Use on the
Spriggs Adjustable 7-ft Triangle or 5-ft Square Frame Looms
Amounts shown below are based on using either a single color or
planning color use very closely, so yarn is not wasted. If you plan several color changes,
or plan to use some colors disproportionately more or less than others, it would be wise
to obtain extra balls or skeins of some colors so you don’t run out of a dyelot in
the middle of your project. Check our web site for color cards or call for avalability.
