Can I use this yarn for baby items?

How do I calculate how much yarn I need for a project?

Follow the yarn requirements indicated in your chosen pattern. If you're adapting a pattern, make a gauge swatch to accurately assess yarn consumption.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting/crocheting.

Ensure you are using the correct hook or needle size for the yarn weight. Adjust your tension, and consider using a smoother needle or hook material.

Check your pattern gauge and wash a swatch to observe the yarn's behavior. Lighting can also affect color perception, so view your project in natural light.
