Materials

You will need 7 colors of any yarn you like to make your Enigma Blanket. I have designed 4 colorways in 3 different yarn weights to inspire you for your own blanket. You can use one of my colorways or choose your own. My colorways are the original Flower Field in Scheepjes Stone Washed, and Flower Field in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, and the two new colorways Vintage in Scheepjes Scrumptious and Sunset Sky in Scheepjes Cotton 8. You can find information about color numbers and yarn amounts HERE. You can buy your supplies from any yarn shop close to you, but you can also buy a full kit with everything you need from my webshop.

I also have yarn kits available for all 4 colorways of Enigma Blanket in my shop. The mandala kits include everything you need to make these mandalas including the pattern, yarn and the mandala rings.
