Convert knitting pattern yardage into skeins to purchase and a price that includes making time.
How knitting yarn math works
Use the size you will actually knit. A sweater in XL is not the yardage printed for small.
Buy extra from the same dye lot. The calculator’s buffer exists so you are not one sleeve short.
If you sell finished knits, labor is the main cost. Yarn-only pricing will not pay for the hours.
FAQ
