- Knitters substituting yarn in a pattern
- Worth noticing
- A yarn enters its catalogue only when the maker publishes both yardage and skein weight; missing figures stay missing.
Field notes
The calculator asks for the pattern quantity in skeins and yards or metres, then compares the selected yarns’ published lengths. The page notes that some lines print different yardage for solids and prints, so it asks for a line or colorway. Its guides cover what the arithmetic cannot settle, including gauge, drape, and whether the finished fabric will behave similarly.
