Yarn Math
Read full descriptionHide full description
Want to use a different yarn for your pattern? Make the project your own, use yarn from your stash, or compare a cheaper alternative. Yarn Math helps you check the thickness match and estimate how much you’ll need. • Compare length and weight per skein. • Find which number of strands gives the closest thickness match. • Estimate how much yarn your project needs and how many skeins to buy. • Account for yarn you already have. • Compare two yarns held together with one yarn, in either direction. • Convert to meters per 50 g or yards per 1.8 oz. • Save calculations on your device. Add yarn names and prices to track costs and potential savings. • Choose your language and measurement units in Settings. Results are estimates based on the information you enter. Knit a gauge swatch before starting your project. A subscription is required to use the calculators.
