Gauge: 6 sts and 7 rows = 4″ worked in single crochet To figure out how many skeins you need for color B, use the same method but use 750 instead of 950 (because you only need 750 yards of color B.Īdditionally, you should know that the chain one at the beginning of every row does not count as a stitch. Divide 950 by 106 to get 8.96 skeins of yarn you would need. Here’s an example: Wool Ease Thick and Quick solids come in 106 yds skeins.

To figure out how many skeins you need of color A, take 950 and divide it by the number of yards in the skein of yarn that you want to use. Each color type has a slightly different length of yarn included in each skein, which is why we don’t say specifically how many skeins you need for each color. This yarn has colors available that are solid, prints/stripes, and metallic. See our other favorite yarns for blankets in this post here! Our beginner crochet blanket can be made with any super bulky weight yarn, but we love Wool Ease Thick and Quick because it’s readily available in craft stores and there are a ton of color options.
