sts/ gauge and texture.
When you found the correct yarn in sts/ weight,
check yardage : easy formula for figuring out yardage of an alternate yarn:
pattern requests ____
balls @ ____yds ( or meters) = balls __ x ___ yardage (or meters) = _____total of
yardage( or meters).
Total of yardage( or meters) _____divided by your choice of yarn
_____yardage( or meters). = ______number of balls you need to buy of your yarn choice.
