Yeah! While doing Mia handcrafter's snorlax, I had guessed it would take 2.5 balls of yarn. Barely halfway when my 3th ball finished. The color was very popular and the brand does not restock non basic colors. After 2 stores I got the very last 2 balls. I was very annoyed by the idea I had to the arms in a different green. Luckily 5 balls was enough. Was left with 20 cm after attaching all the pieces that where green.
