Calculating Yarn by Weight: What to Do With Your Leftover Yarn
If you enjoy crocheting, you know how easy it is to accumulate leftover yarn.
Once you finish a project, you may find yourself wondering what to do with all the extra yarn, where to store it, and how to determine how much you have left.
Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this problem. All you need is a kitchen scale and some basic math skills to calculate the length of the thread by weight.
In this tutorial, the author will show you an easy formula to calculate the length of the yarn, both with and without a cable tag.
However, keep in mind that to improve accuracy when working with "mystery yarn," it's best to know what type of yarn you're dealing with, such as combed, DK, or bulky.
Knowing the type of yarn is particularly important if you're trying to determine whether the yarn you have on hand will work for a specific pattern.
By calculating the length of the yarn, you can figure out if you have enough to complete a project or if you need to purchase more.
Calculating yarn by weight is not only useful for determining leftover yarn, but it can also help you organize your yarn stash.
By knowing how much yarn you have, you can create a more accurate inventory and plan future projects accordingly.
So, don't let leftover yarn go to waste. With this simple method, you can easily calculate the length of your yarn and use it to create beautiful crochet projects.
