It's been so long since I have bought crochet cotton that I'm not familiar
with common ball sizes. The best I can suggest is that you look at websites
that sell it. www.herrschners.com and www.marymaxim.com are 2 that would
carry it. You could probably get an idea of how much you need by doing an
Internet search on free bedspread crochet pattern. Good luck.
