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!
