      Karen N- I used 17balls of Millamia on this project, so yes you need to get it when it’s in offer as it’s not cheap! X

      I love this yarn squishy but holds the stitch well. No wonder you wear it alot. Gorgeous

      This looks gorgeous! How did you find the sizing compared to the yarn used in the pattern? There looked like quite a difference when I checked the tensions. And is the ochre colour shown here accurate? On the yarn page it looks more of an acid yellow but this looks more like ochre and is stunning.

        Hiya, I made my cardigan a little smaller in this yarn as it isn’t quite as light as the lion brand one recommended and also I didn’t want the thing to swamp me. The colour is beautiful, probably a bit lighter than in my pictures but still a true ochre. I am so pleased with my finished cardy and wear it all the time- I’ll post a pic of it all done. I found it a joy to crochet, both the pattern and the yarn. P x

        @MrsH: Thanks so much P, that’s really helpful. I appreciate you responding and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished project! When you say you made it a little smaller, did you just go down a size? Kx

        @Karen N: I made it in Small (I’m a size 12) and didn’t do the ‘tush’ (her term not mine!) as long as the pattern suggested as I wanted a shorter fit! Hope that helps, to be honest it’s really easy to gauge as you go along, I kept draping it around me to get a feel for the finished size. Let me know how you get on.x

        @MrsH: oh that’s really helpful, thank you! One last question (not more, she cries!) - how many balls of the Milla Mia did you use? I tried to work it out but it’s years since I made anything and my poor wee brain failed spectacularly!! I nearly ordered some when it was on offer but didn’t want a huge fail if there weren’t enough. X
