    Question New Member

    Hi All - I've just joined this special site and although I know this is supposed to be about crochet, I actually have a knit question. I have a wonderful afghan pattern that I acquired years ago as a kit. Now I don't know how much wool yarn is required since the pattern only gives direction without the required supplies. How do I calculate the amount of yarn required for an afghan made of seven strips of different aran patterns? At this point simply guessing leaves me with either a lot left over or just shy of the required amount. I'm sure someone out there has a suggestion to help calculate the right amount. Thanks to all!

    Hello,

    Welcome to the group! It is great to have you as a member. I personally do not knit but I found this. Maybe it will help you and we will also have other members checking in at different times which may have knitting experience:
