Tips

1
Higher pile heights use exponentially more wool. Budget accordingly for plush designs.
2
Pre-wash wool before cutting strips to account for shrinkage.

Open formula

Total Strips = Area × Loops Per Inch² × Strip Length Per Loop
Wool (yd) = Total Strip Length / 36

Calculates total loop count from area and density, then multiplies by strip length per loop (varies by pile height).
