Yarn & yarn packs
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 4
All videos for Mandala Madness are available through my YouTube channel. In the video for week 4 I show you how to increase the star we made in part 3 and how to decorate it with popcorn stitches. You will notice that I use a lot of color this week. I will continue to do so as the CAL progresses; I love color and I use it abundantly!
My Mandala Madness
I use two Scheepjes yarns for my mandala; Scheepjes Sunkissed and Scheepjes Cotton 8 with a 3mm (D-3) hook. There are yarn packs available for this CAL in Scheepjes Color Crafter, Scheepjes Stone Washed XL and Scheepjes Merino Soft, all available from Wool Warehouse. Here a list of the colors I used for week 4.
| Round | Yarn | Color number | Color name |
| round 30 | Sunkissed | 14 | spearmint green |
| round 31 | Cotton 8 | 720 | fuchsia |
| round 32 | Sunkissed | 14 | spearmint green |
| round 33 | Sunkissed | 14 | spearmint green |
| round 34 | Sunkissed | 04 | poolside |
I hope to see you next week for part 5.
With love,
Esther

Your color choices are wonderful and I love the ombre effect of the Sunkissed yarn. I hope you are able to post when you are done the approximate amount of yarn you used. I would like to purchase the same yarn but not sure how much to purchase nor do I think you are done introducing new colors. Can’t wait to see your progress week to week.

I will post a color list when completed. I have not done the entire project and I have no idea of all my colors yet. I take it week by week.
