Help! Out of yarn!
I've been knitting my tomten with KnitPicks Wool of the Andes doubled. I wanted a thicker fabric because it's going to Afghanistan. And I've run out of yarn! I have enough to finish the back and hood, but I won't have enough for the sleeves.
I've emailed KnitPicks to see if they can find more in that dye lot. Otherwise, I'll make the sleeves a different color. Do any of you know how much I'll need for the sleeves? It will take me at least 6 skeins to finish the body and hood, and I wonder if I need as much for the sleeves. They are pretty big.
Thank you for your advice!
Edited to add: I'm using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes worsted in color grass. Dye lot is 98054.

If you think about it in %. You will need as much yarn for the two sleeves as you used for front in back.
In other words:
back = 3 skeins, 1 sleeve =3 skeins
front = 3 skeins, 1 sleeve = 3 skeins

Thank you. That helps so much. I'm still learning about her methods

Which color/dyelot are you looking for? Someone may have some in stash if Knitpicks can't locate it for you.
