There are/were various yarn packs available for the crochet along.
These yarn packs are available from Wool Warehouse as well as selected Scheepjes Stockists.
Video Part 2
All videos for Mandala Madness are available through my YouTube channel. In the video for week 2 I show you step-by-step how to make the star around the center flower of the mandala.
My Mandala Madness
I use two Scheepjes yarns for my mandala; Scheepjes Sunkissed and Scheepjes Cotton 8 with a 3mm (D-3) hook. Here a list of the colors I used for week 2.
| Round | Yarn | Color number | Color name |
| round 16 | Sunkissed | 14 | spearmint green |
| round 17 | Sunkissed | 14 | spearmint green |
| round 18 | Sunkissed | 14 | spearmint green |
| round 19 | Cotton 8 | 652 | grey-blue |
| round 20 | Cotton 8 | 652 | grey-blue |
| round 21 | Cotton 8 | 652 | grey-blue |
| round 22 | Sunkissed | 13 | cherry ice |
| round 23 | Sunkissed | 13 | cherry ice |
I hope to see you next week for part 3 which brings us up to the sneak peak released a few months ago. After that the project is a mystery.
With love,

Dear Esther.
Round 22 with your cherry ice..the Trebles that are then folded on row 23 seem uneven on original picture of the last of part 2 of the Mandala ..its all in a nutshell. Your sample seems even. Is there a miscalculation of the stitches? This is where you do 25T then skip the 4sc on the row. thank you.

To my knowledge there is no error in the pattern. You could double check with the designer of Mandala Madness. Helen Shrimpton from Crystals and crochet.
