Partridge Superwash Version

MATERIALS

• Main Yarn: 3 skeins of Purl Soho’s Partridge Superwash, 100% superwash wool in either Heirloom White or Wrought Iron. Each skein of this chunky/bulky-weight yarn is 109 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 270 yards required.
• Contrast Yarn: 1 skein of Purl Soho’s Good Wool, 100% Andean highland wool in the color Coastline Gray. Each skein of this sport- to light worsted/DK-weight yarn is 383 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 75 yards required.

NOTE: Because Partridge Superwash has a bit less yardage than the original Partridge, this bundle now includes an extra skein. The Superwash version is also a touch thicker, so the finished pillow has a slightly taller finished dimension.
