Terry,
I bought yarn on cones when I had a knitting machine, but have bought yarn
in skeins for years now.

Joyce;
What is a cone of yarn.  I get mine in scains. They are easy to handle
and can easily fit in a bag.

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.
