per color: 256, (351, 446, 538, 633, 728, 823, 918, 1013, 1108) yards. 234,(320, 407, 492, 578, 665, 752, 839, 926, 1013) meters.
needles:
US size 7, 16 in circular needle or 3-4 sizes smaller than size required for gauge.
US size 9 or 1-2 sizes smaller than required for gauge.
US size 10.5, circular needle. You may want multiple cable lengths (or dpns) in your gauge size in order to knit a small circumference for the sleeves and a large circumference for the chest.
other notions:
scrap yarn or extra interchangeable needle cable to hold sleeve stitches, stitch marker, darning needle, tape measure, blocking supplies.
gauge:
12 sts and 12 rows = 4 inches blocked, in stockinette stitch using larger needles.
row gauge is not as important since the pattern tells you how many inches to knit in each area but be sure you have a fabric that is not too stiff and tight.
