Place 2:






This is an Excel spreadsheet for converting a yarn quantity from the “original yarn” into an “alternative yarn” of your choice.

Example:
The original yarn named in your pattern has a yardage of 85 m per 50 g. According to the instructions there, you need 600 g of this “original yarn” for your size. But you would like to make your piece in a different yarn (= alternative yarn). This yarn you have chosen has a yardage of 70 m per 50 g ball. You enter this information in the Excel spreadsheet and immediately receive the required quantity of your desired yarn in balls and grams.
