There are three official colorways for the Charlotte’s Universe blanket; Vintage Charlotte, Sunshine Charlotte and Pink Charlie. You can of course make the blanket in any colorway you like, and knowing Dedri she will love to see all your color combinations! Dedri has made the original Vintage blanket using Scheepjes Softfun Aquarel (DK/Light Worsted Weight/#3).

- 21 balls of Color A
- 10 balls of Color B
- 6 balls of Color C

Esther, your videos make it so fab. I got to row 11, yesterday. I love that you are using Secret Garden for it. Guess what? I just did a first design with Catona, and it was you who introduced me to Scheepjes. It really was. Histoire went on hold, for a time. I will try on this one, to finish. That central flower is so gorgeous. Thinking of joining the FB group for this one.
