Materials

Yarn

Hip Strings Buoy Fingering (37.5% BFL, 37.5% Shetland, 25% Manx Loaghtan; 2 ply woolen spun; 400 yards / 366 meters per 100g skein)

Color: Brick

Approximately (4, 4, 5)(5, 6, 6)(6, 7, 7) skeins of this yarn, or yarn of similar yardage per skein that you can achieve the gauge with.
For my sample (size 2) I used an exact amount of 4 skeins.

Or approximately (1450, 1630, 1755)(1907, 2060, 2212)(2365, 2517, 2670) yards / (1325, 1465, 1604)(1743, 1883, 2022)(2162, 2301, 2441) meters.

Feel free to substitute your yarn with similar choices.
Any yarn that is of similar yardage and with wool content that you can get gauge with is good.

Note that estimated yardage might vastly vary depending on your individual tension of knitting and gauge.
