Yarn Requirements Calculator
Estimate how much yarn you need before starting your crochet project.
Calculate total grams, yarn length and number of skeins.
1. Your Project
Use 1 for a single finished piece.
Tip: For a sweater or cardigan, use the approximate total
surface area of the pieces you are crocheting. For example, front + back +
sleeves can be added together for a more useful estimate.
2. Yarn Information
Default consumption is an approximate planning estimate.
Recommended: 10–15% for shaping, joins and finishing.
2. Your Test Swatch
Weigh the yarn before and after making your swatch.

Enter your project details and calculate your yarn requirement.
Important: This calculator provides an estimate.
Actual yarn consumption can change because of stitch type, crochet tension,
hook size, yarn fiber, gauge, shaping, color changes and finishing.
For expensive yarn or fitted garments, the Swatch Method is recommended.
