Frequently asked questions
How many metres are in 1 kg of yarn?
It depends on the yarn. Read the label: if 100 g is 200 m, then 1 kg is 2,000 m. Thicker yarn has fewer metres per gram.
How do I measure leftover yarn?
Weigh the leftover ball on a kitchen scale and enter the grams. The calculator uses the label’s length-per-weight to work out how much is left.
