![]() ![]() Two different types doesn't really violate that 'one thing only' rule does it? Also, even if you're a 'one project at a time' person, we do feel there is validity in having 'the big one' on the go and a smaller project too. The little 'in-between' bit of creativity which needed to be expressed without committing time too far in the future. ĭo you have a favourite go-to project type for these times? Bags? Hats? Shawls? Or smaller pieces than these? We have spoken before about the single sitting project: the thing that might be nothing but is something all by itself. Something to scratch the crochet itch without jumping straight back into another long-term project. I hope that you all have a lovely weekend and that you have some nice things lined up to do. If you're anything like us you're probably already planning what you can do with hook and yarn, packing it into the spare hours as tightly as possible, squeezing out everything we can from the time!Īs you know, we're big fans of stash busting projects and if you can make a whole blanket out of yarn from your stash then that seems even more rewarding! However carefully we plan, there is always excess yarn isn't there? Although perhaps 'excess' is the wrong word to apply to our precious stashes of bits and bobs of leftovers as these, alongside the recent completion of a larger project, often sets us off looking for a smaller project to work on to use them up. This rounded up to the nearest ball means that we would need 7 balls to replace the Stylecraft French Blue to have a sufficient amount of yarn. Divide the combined length of the original yarn (1192m) by the length of each ball of the new yarn (175m) Next find the weight and length information on the replacement yarn. You can find this on the yarn band, via the website of the brand or even on Ravelry using the 'Yarn Search' feature. So, for example, if you chose to use Rowan Yarns Felted Tweed (shown below) then each ball has 175m on it. Here is the important bit: you need to know how much yarn is on the ball. Not in weight but in length. In the case of Stylecraft Life DK, each ball has 298m on it so we know we need approximately 1192 metres of the French Blue yarn (298m x 4 balls). We also know we need 4 balls of the French Blue colour. So, we know the brand is Stylecraft and we know the type is Life DK – in this instance, the name tells us the weight is DK so that is helpful. In our photo for example, the top yarn is Stylecraft Life DK in French Blue and you would need 4 balls of this yarn. You need to know the weight of it and how much is being used. These tips work for any project – if you find this post helpful you could save it for future reference.ġ: Find out about the yarn detailed in the pattern. ![]()
