I’m using yarn instead of floss. Is there a way to figure out yarn usage? |

Also remember that the number listed is just that - an estimate. I did one project that had an estimate from two different sources for how much floss was used. Neither was that accurate but the 2nd source was more accurate than what I got from PCStitch (a much earlier version). I don't know if that calculation has been updated over the years.
