MADE WITH HOMBYS
Cinnamon Spiced Latte Blanket by @chunkyblanketbarn
Cream, khaki and layered browns give @chunkyblanketbarn’s Cinnamon Spiced Latte blanket its warm autumn character. Wide and narrow stripes create a relaxed rhythm across the plush chenille surface.
The palest sections separate the deeper coffee bands, while warm middle tones connect the palette. Changing stripe widths add variety without needing another motif, making the color transitions the main design feature.
The Maker’s Story
The maker reported completing a yarn-testing challenge with a gifted HOMBYS 8-skein pack of graduated browns. Her caption names Cream, Khaki, Light Brown and Dark Brown, and says she made the blanket and matching pumpkins from the gifted yarn.

Coordinating Yarn Options
No checked current mixed pack exactly reproduces the maker’s four-color 8-skein selection. Khaki & Coffee is a suggested two-tone starting point, supplemented with Cream and Dark Coffee. The current product names are coordinating options; the source’s Light Brown and Dark Brown labels do not establish exact equivalence to current store shade names.
- Khaki & Coffee mixed pack — suggested middle brown tones
- Cream — suggested light stripes
- Dark Coffee — suggested deep brown stripes
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The maker reports receiving 8 skeins and creating both the blanket and pumpkins, but does not state that all 8 skeins were used or how the yarn was divided. No finished dimensions or gauge are given. Treat 8 skeins as the reported starting pack, then use your blanket size, stripe plan and swatch to estimate your own purchase.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 50 × 60 in (127 × 152 cm). Scope: one finished item.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 10–14 skeins in total, including one spare in the largest yarn group. Whole-skein rounding by color can exceed the estimated amount actually knitted.
Estimated fabric consumption before the spare: about 6.9–10.3 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 Khaki & 4 Coffee | 6–8 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Cream | 3–4 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Dark Coffee | 1–2 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
Planning assumptions: single-layer blanket. Area model uses 350 square inches per 27 yd skein as a working assumption, scaled to the listed skein length; ±20% allowance, plus one spare after rounding each color. Decorative / texture factor: 1. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: 4 Khaki & 4 Coffee 60%, Cream 30%, Dark Coffee 10%. These are illustrative planning shares, not measured original proportions. Mixed / gradient product rows are combined yarn groups; their full pack size is not a claim of project consumption. Check pack contents and top up individual colors as needed.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
