Hi Friends! I hope you enjoy the video. I get this question a lot regarding yarn amounts so I thought I would show you how I figure it out. It's very simple and I've had good results with it. But if this is not your thing, be sure to watch the end of the video where I share alternative options. xx

Well, this definitely beats my method of just guessing and hoping for the best lol…which has never worked. Thanks! I’m excited to try this out! Would love more videos on it with other types of stitches and projects too. Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend!

I'm ecstatic! I've been designing crochet for magazines for 35 years, and you have shown me some extremely valuable tools for my continuing work! I hadn't thought of using weight to determine yardage needed. Brilliant. I was stuck with my formula: X number of yards = X number of stitches/rows. Old dog, new tricks. Thank You!!

This is very helpful and you made it look so easy! Reminds me of the 'math story problems' in school eons ago😊

Thank you for such a great way of estimating the required yarn for a specific project. How to work with stripes was especially useful. ❤❤

Wonderful reference guide, Roz. I am a gram person too. Baking bread led me there and I sort of stuck with it for everything. It's very accurate. Great video.💖

THANK YOU for this video!! I needed it. Please do a video on calculating the yarn for a graphgan!!!

[lindacopeland]

Hahaha. I’ve just been buying what I think or looking on the cover on the yarn. I figure if I get a little more I can make something else or put in “scrap” bag..
