Yarn Cost Per Metre Calculator — Compare Yarn Value
Compare the cost per metre of different yarns to find the best value. Price per ball alone does not tell the full story.
Yarn 1
Cost in your local currency
Value for metres
Total weight of the model or component
Yarn 2
Cost in your local currency
Value for metres
Total weight of the model or component
How We Calculate This
This calculator divides the ball price by the meterage to give cost per metre for two yarns side by side.
The formula
Cost per metre = Price per ball / Metres per ball
Cost per gram = Price per ball / Weight per ball
