Three checks before you buy
✓
Swatch in the pattern stitch
Matching label gauges do not guarantee the same result. Tension and stitch pattern affect your gauge.
✓
Measure stitches and rows after washing
Check the size and feel after washing and drying your swatch.
✓
Check quantities by colour and dye lot
This calculation assumes one colour and one strand. Measure the actual length of partial balls.
