⋯⋯ I used 1 Skien of each, however depending on the size of the pouch/bag you're crocheting, this could be a great yarn stash-buster project or may require multiple skeins for larger bags.
🧶 Zipper (length based on pouch size)
⋯⋯ I used a 6" zipper, your local craft store most likely has many options.
🧶 Crochet hook that's best for yarn weight you're using
⋯⋯ I used 4mm crochet hook - https://bit.ly/4d9tZOC
