Yarn consumption for different products
marzo 24 2023
We offer you simple schemes with an approximate calculation of the volume of yarn for different types of products. Of course, for each thing you still have to knit a sample, and everything will need to be considered individually. But pivot tables will help you get oriented in order to understand at least the scale of expenses for high-quality Lavita yarn or any other brand of thread that you take to work.

In terms of footage, a good warm sweater will take about 1200-1500 meters (with and without a collar). For a vest, count to approximately 600 meters. A long wide scarf will require from 400 meters. This is for knitting. When crocheting, add 25% of the weight or footage of yarn for hand knitting. We also add 15% if there are complex volumetric patterns, fringe, pom-poms, border.
