Before starting a project, it’s always good to have an idea of how much yarn you’ll need. I bought a ball of Shawl in a Ball, and got about 100 rows from complete, all decreases, and ran out. Of course, no local stores had it, so I had to order it online and wait impatiently while it was shipped. And it happened twice, with another shawl! So here’s a handy chart for you if you’re planning on making these projects.
