Make something from what you have

What can I make with my yarn?

Add your colours and amounts. Our own engine compares the yarn needed for each colour, not just the total. Supported projects: colourwork hats and cowls, C2C picture panels and name blankets.

Project typeYarn thickness for every listed colour

Use compatible yarns of the same thickness in one project. Different dye colours count separately; identical swatches are pooled. Check real-life contrast before making.

Extra reserve beyond the engine estimate (%)

The engine already includes its stated allowances. This field adds your own extra reserve. A saved swatch calibration is used when available.

Amounts are estimates, not a guarantee that your yarn will last. Swatch, tension, finishing and contrast matter. Knitted patterns keep their original sizes and require their stated gauge. The PDF retains the original palette and model yardage; use the colour mapping and stock estimates here alongside it. C2C links open the actual graph with your colours and block size. C2C border yarn is excluded from these estimates. Extras such as pompoms, linings and embellishments may require more material.
