How this yarn skein calculator works
Project yardage is increased by the extra allowance and divided by yards per skein, then rounded up.
How to use it
- Project yardage needed. Enter the value in yards.
- Yards per skein. Enter the value in yards.
- Extra allowance. Enter the value in %.

What to do with the number
Gauge, yarn weight, pattern modifications and swatching can change actual yardage. Buy all skeins for a color-sensitive project at once when possible so dye lots match.
Planning estimate
Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
