    It seems like 22 balls is more than you need to purchase to make this scarf. If I were to use just a nice mixture of my own colors, would it be possible to make with fewer balls? Do you know how many total yards needed? Thank you!

      For the Patchwork Posies scarf about 25 – 50gr in the main border colors, then a mixture of colors could be used for the flowers, I’m not sure exactly how many meters was used of each color but the full scarf weighs 188gr. It would be possible to do the scarf in one or more colors of choice and even small scraps can be used for the joining flowers! Hope this helps. – Nicola, Editor
