Yarn Yardage Estimator

Estimates how much yarn you need for a project based on your stitch count, row count, tension (gauge), and ball weight. Always buy 10–15% more than estimated to account for variations.

  • Find your gauge swatch on the yarn ball band or swatch it yourself
  • The waste allowance covers seams, tails, and minor errors
  • For colorwork or cables, add an extra 20–30%
  • Results are approximate — buy an extra ball just in case
