I've knitted it in Pegasus Dishcloth Cotton with 4mm needles. I believe it took me just under four balls to make a square blanket. It's been a lovely blanket, nice and soft but hard wearing and 100% cotton for a low price. This yarn is great to knit with, I've done a few projects with it but this was my first blanket. It's really easy to knit with and I highly recommend it for beginners. I used to have a lot (and I really do mean a lot) of blind customers who used this yarn to make dishcloths and blankets for charity. It's ideal because it doesn't split, it's really easy not just to see what's happening with your stitches but to feel it too.
