Estimating How Much Yarn To Buy

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. Yarns are manufactured in batches which can have a slight change in shade. Also, it’s not always easy matching afterwards!

Also, make sure you read below related articles before you buy the yarn:
