I have no idea how this is going to translate into Blogger.

I made this chart to help myself have a fair to middlin' idea of how much yarn I need to make for any given project. And how much fiber I need to purchase to make said yarn.

The information was gleaned from lots of different places and does not necessarily correspond from column to column. The 50 yard skein comes from Knit Picks because that seems to be their average for skein size (it does go up for the bulkier stuff, of course). The yards per pound figure obviously does not correspond with Knit Picks and I can't remember where I got the figures but they do seem to run fairly accurate.

As I make my own yarn and measure and weigh, I will probably make adjustments to this, but it is a starting place for me.
