You won’t believe how amazingly soft this rug is! Stitched in pom-pom yarn, it creates a thick, plush surface that’s irresistible to bare feet.

Yarn substitution quantities?
Submitted by NSnyder1086 on Mon, 2010-07-19 13:59.I love this rug! I want to make a version using only one color of Pomp-a-Doodle rather than four (the prairie colorway matches my living room) so I am wondering how many balls of one color I would need. I mean, obviously not all of the balls of each particular color are used in their entirety, so I wonder if I still would need 10 balls of prairie, or if I would only need, say, eight or so.
