The material list may indicate the incorrect number of crystal bicones for older charts. You may need an additional 4 Crystal 2xAB and an additional 4 Peridot 2xAB. Be sure to check the chart for the accurate number of each of these bicones. The material list was updated for the correct numbers in November 2020.
Some stitchers have reported using a small portion of a second skein for Waterlilies #263 Salt & Pepper, #300 Belgian Stone, and #315 Coal, particularly if you are not "frugal" in your fiber usage or have the need to remove and re-stitch areas using those fibers. You may wish to purchase a second skein at the start to be certain your dye lots match.
