I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran for all 3 patterns in the Space Explorer Collection, but you can use any cotton yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn.
For the Astronaut, I used roughly 40g of Misty Grey (a little less than one skein of yarn), 18g of Dolphin Blue (< half a skein of yarn), 10g of Melon Sorbet (< 1), and 35g Champagne White.
For the Rocket, I used roughly 50g of Vintage Pink (about one skein of yarn), 85g of Stormy Grey (< 2 skeins of yarn), a little bit of Pale Lilac, a little bit of Pansy Purple, and a little bit of Champagne White for the window reflection.
For the Alien, I used roughly 20-25g of Lime Green (about half a skein of yarn), a little bit of Vintage Pink for the blush, and a little bit of Pure Black for the mouth.
