I hope this is an appropriate place for this question! I’m based in the USA, and my mom and dad are traveling to Scandinavia and my mom said she’d visit a yarn store for me to get me things. I would really like to have her bring me some Sandnes Garn pattern booklets are these are not readily available to me otherwise. I know that they must be purchased with yarn. My mom does not knit and knows nothing about yarn, but wants to bring something back for me which is so sweet.

If my mom were to go to a yarn store in Denmark or Norway and pick up a few booklets, how will she know what the yarn requirement is to buy the booklet? Does someone in the store usually tell you what the minimum is to get yarn? Is it listed on the booklet? Does she have to buy a whole sweaters worth of yarn (no room for this in their luggage) or would just a couple skeins suffice? I’m trying to explain all this to a non-knitter in the hopes of getting yarn and booklets I’ll like without the ability to give any input in realtime.

Sorry if these are silly questions but I’d be really appreciative of any information! Thanks!
