Yarn
Paint Box is a worsted weight yarn. Any weight, using appropriate crochet hook, would work because you can stop crocheting when you obtain the size afghan you desire. To Achieve the variegated look the yarn you choose must have short runs of each color.
Suggestions of other yarn to use are:
Noro Yarn—Kureyon
Noro Yarn—Silk Garden
Knit One, Crochet Too—Paint Box
Knit One, Crochet Too—Ty-Dy Socks (makes a light weight baby blanket)
Plymouth Yarns—Boku
Blue Heron—They have a large selection of variegated hand-dyed yarn
It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase. Approximately 2400 yards-(2194.5 meters)- are needed for this afghan—400 yards-(366 meters) of 6 different color ways. Allow for more yarn if a larger afghan is desired or using a thinner weight yarn.
