What a brilliant post!
I would love to see the same experiment but done to how long it takes to make a certain size, and how much yarn each uses. This way we can see what is the most economical for yarn useage as well as time.
Alas, I’m not a good enough crocheter to do this myself!
Hi Elly,
Thank you for your positive feedback 😊. There is 95m of yarn to the 50g ball of the yarn I have used in this test, which works out to 1.9m of yarn per 1 gram of yarn. If you take a look at the table in my post, you will find the rest of the information there you would need to work out a particular size and approximately how much yarn it would use. Everything will only be approximate though, depending on the weight of yarn you choose and the size hook and then will also depend on your speed.
Thanks again!! Wendy
What a great idea to do this Wendy. I enjoyed looking at all tne different styles and it is definitely handy to know what works up quickly if I need to make something in a hurry 😁
Thanks Caz!! I’m glad you found it useful 😁
