Yarn skeins
[QUOTE=bearisgray;7564322]It seems like the different colors have different "hefts"
I have been knitting squares that will be assembled into baby/toddler blankets, and some skeins/colors will yield 3+ squares and some skeins/colors yield not quite 3 squares.
I have had the same problems. I find the solid seems to have more yardage than some of the variegated. And the dual-colored twisted yarns seem to be thinner than the wt. stated....and they seem to split. I always feel like I need to buy an extra skein..........and then I have all these building up!!
