Purple heart squares are made with 2 rounds, 4-ply worsted weight yarn, and a “J” hook. At present, I’ve been using red, white & blue, but if you have a stash of yarn that is different colors, feel free to use them. I have a flat –rate phone service, so if you trust me with your number, I can call you to answer any other individual questions you may have. I’m located in south-central Georgia. I would prefer you just made the squares and not join them together. That way I can incorporate some of my special “Purple Heart” squares into the finished lapghan Thank you again for your most generous help. P.J.
