🧶 Yarn Yardage Calculator
Yardage needed for any knitting or crochet project
About this calculator
The Yarn Yardage calculator estimates how much yarn a knitting or crochet project needs. Enter the project type, size, and gauge; it multiplies the finished dimensions by typical yardage-per-area figures, adding a buffer for swatching and seaming. Running short mid-project risks dye-lot mismatches you cannot fix later.
Tip: buy one extra skein beyond the estimate whenever the yarn is hand-dyed — dye lots vary visibly, and that spare skein is insurance against a two-tone sweater — leftover yarn always finds a use in hats or swatches.
