WEIGH IT. KNOW IT. LOG IT.
You finished the project. Now find exactly how much yarn it took.
Ever finish a project and wonder how many yards you actually used? Or want to know if you have enough left over for a matching accessory? The Yarn Yardage Calculator answers both questions with a simple weigh-and-calculate method.
All you need is a kitchen or postal scale (accurate to 1 gram), your yarn label, and your leftover yarn. Weigh what's left, enter the numbers, and the calculator tells you exactly how many yards went into your project.
"No more scribbling on back of a yarn label or hunting for your phone calculator mid-project."
WHEN TO USE IT
PROJECT RECORDS
Log exactly how much yarn each project takes so you can buy the right amount next time.
MATCHING ACCESSORIES
Know how much is left after a hat so you can decide if there's enough for mittens to match.
PATTERN WRITING
Accurately list yarn requirements in your own patterns — no more guessing "about 2 skeins."
STASH MANAGEMENT
Know what your leftover balls are actually worth in yardage before starting something new.
Every yarn label holds the two numbers you need for the Yarn Yardage Calculator. The weight (shown here as 170g) is the full skein's total grams, and the yardage (106 yd) is how many yards are in the whole skein. Just enter those two numbers into the calculator, then weigh your leftover yarn after your project is done (make sure your scale is set in grams) — and you'll know exactly how many yards you used.
