Estimating How Much Yarn To Buy
by Heena Patel on Nov 21, 2020
There is no term as “too much yarn”, but you do need to have an estimate of how much yarn you would need for a project you intend to make :). I have prepared a chart which will help you estimate the total yarn needed to knit hats, sweaters, blankets, and more.
Tip – Don’t run out of yarn. Make sure, you have enough yarn to cover your project, and a bit besides. It’s not always easy matching afterwards!
