Many knitters are headed to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY this weekend. It's a wonderful opportunity to buy breed specific yarns. But how much to buy?
A year ago I released my app, StashBot, for iOS. To celebrate the anniversary, StashBot is on sale for $2.99 (reg. 4.99) through Sunday! Download on the app store HERE. (StashBot for Android is still in the works!!) If you find a yarn you like, you can use the app to figure out how much to buy for specific sizes and project types. There is a print version of StashBot available from your LYS, or from Quince & Co.
To further assist you, here are yardage requirements for all the projects from Home & Away. Happy shopping!
