How to Calculate Leftover Yarn After a Project
Have you ever wondered whether the yarn left after finishing a project is enough to make another one?
Here’s a small tip that’s very easy to apply:

Step 1: Check the yarn label
Divide total length ÷ total weight → gives you meters per gram (or yards per ounce)
Step 2: Weigh your leftover yarn
Multiply weight × meters per gram
Example:
Yarn label: 300 m / 100 g → 1 g = 3 m Leftover yarn: 40 g → 40 × 3 = 120 m of yarn
This method helps you make better use of your yarn, avoid waste, and plan your next project more easily 💛
