how many skeins would it take to make about a 6 x 8 blanket?

I would say 8 to 10 depending on the pattern. For a 6x8 feathers and fans afghan I made that fits a queen/king I used 8 plus two more for the border.

I've never used the bulky yarn before. About how many skeins of the big ball are needed for a baby blaket?

It depends on how tight or loose you crochet or knit...but you can get a good size receiving blanket out of 2 skeins. I made a comfort blanket for my granddaughter out of 1 skein. It's not big enough to cover with, it's just enough for her to hold onto while she's sleeping or when she gets upset. I hope that helps.

Please help! How many skeins, what # needles for lap throw approx 3'x4'? THANKS!

It took me a little more than 4 skeins to make a very large 4.5’x6.5’ blanket using a 10 mm crochet hook in double crochet. The skeins are quite large, and my tension is pretty tight.

I'm ridiculously new at this. In fact, have never bought yarn before. I've used old, cut up, t-shirt for "yarn." How long is each skein? Need 90+. Tha

Tidepool single crochet

The tidepool yarn works up nicely and different depths of color appear depending on the light which is pretty cool. My grandma loves the blanket. It’s a single crochet work up. I wouldn’t do a double, treble stitch, or other with this yarn if it will be used a lot due to the durability. Other than that it’s great!

Bernat blanket yarn

I love working with this yarn. It is a thick yarn very soft to the touch And makes a beautiful blanket. It took me a while to get used to the thickness, but I love how well the blanket came out and I'm hoping the durability of this yarn will work as well. This is the second blanket that I have made with this blanket yarn
