How many skeins do I need?
Below is an estimate for how many skeins are typically needed for some popular projects. These are just estimates and actual amounts will depend on the yarn, the project, and the creator. The bigger the project, the bigger the variation possible. If in doubt, we recommend purchasing an extra skein (or 2)!
- Small basket - 1-2 skeins
- Baby throw - 4 skeins
- Baby Boat - 5 skeins
- Adult throw - 7-10 skeins
- Twin - 10-12 skeins
- Full/Queen - 16-18 skeins
- King - 18-20 skeins
How do I connect multiple skeins?
When you purchase more than 1 skein of the same color yarn, we will connect it for you! We know you want to start creating as soon as possible, so we are happy to make it as easy as possible. However, if you create a project with different colors or choose to purchase skeins at different times, you can simply sew the ends of two skeins together. Here's a video to show you how: Connecting two skeins of tube yarn
