A guide, not a promise
Yarn calculator
Pick the project, the size and one of our yarns. We use that yarn’s weight and the metres on the label. Buy a spare, and check your pattern.
Estimate
The estimate needs JavaScript. Use the table below as a rough guide, then ask at the counter.
The metres we start from
For the middle size of each project. Smaller and larger sizes scale from here. Tension, size and stitch pattern all move these numbers.
