Using the Skein Estimator
Skein Estimator is a tool to help you estimate how many skeins you may need to have on-hand for a project.
Estimate
Enter your fabric count (between 6-40)
Enter how many threads you are using (between 1-6), this will default to 2
Enter how many stitches your pattern requires of the color (any quantity greater than 1)
The estimation for the number of skeins you will need will be shown*
** This is intended to be a general guide and a starting point for your projects. Depending on your stitching style and the patterns you are working on, you may require more/fewer skeins. **
