[Nfb-krafters-korner] amount of yarn for projects

[Blindhands at aol.com]

A good way to figure amounts out are by using patterns.  Many patterns  like 
the ones on Lion Brand give you different yarn substitutions..  As  long as 
you use similar weight of yarns meaning worstered weight, bulky weight,  
etc.there are charts with yardage amounts in different brands at your local yarn  
shops.
 
I purchase cones of yarn as these are less expensive for larger  amounts.
 
Since I weave on my triangle loom and I have a ridget hettle loom, too, I  
like one continuous piece of yarn and with the cones I generally have  that.
