Tips you Need to Know Before Selecting Yarn for Your Crochet and Knitting Project- 1. What kind of project you want to make? The first factor in finding how much yarn needed will be the kind of project you're making: a knitted beanie project would require way less yarn than a sweater or a scarf. 2. What type of weight yarn will you be using? Yarn weight is an important factor to consider when choosing suitable yarn for your project. The weight of the yarn you select must match your project. If you are making a light, airy shawl, you won't need a heavy, chunky yarn. And, if you are knitting a winter blanket, you wouldn't want to use a thin, lacy yarn. The thickness of your yarn will affect how your finished product will look and how much yarn you need. 3. What size project you want to make? A baby sweater or any baby garments will take less yardage than an adult sweater. A scarf may only take one skein of fingering weight, while a larger scarf may require two or three skeins of fingering weight.This seems obvious, but when combined with what weight yarn you'll be using, it can make a difference.If you choose to knit with a worsted weight yarn for sweater, you will require less amount of yarn to knit a sweater in any size than knitting the same sweater in fingering weight yarn.That is because the worsted weight yarn will knit up at a larger gauge than your fingering weight yarn. So, based on these three factors, how do you decide how much yarn you'll need? TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION QUICKLY, START WITH SELECTING YOUR PATTERN. The pattern will tell you what you're looking for: Recommended type and weight of the yarn. How much yarn do you need? Recommended needle size.
