Yarn consumption is as follows:
Color 1: 4 (4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5) balls
Color 2: 3 (4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4) balls As a further alternative, the sweater can be worked with 4 strands of Soft Silk Mohair for a chunkier, but at the same time light sweater.  Needle sizes and gauge remain the same as before, and the yarn consumption is the double of the indicated yarn consumption when working with 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair.
