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
Yarn 2
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
