Please note that this is an estimate. Your individual yarn consumption will vary based on your yarn, gauge, size, and the desired sleeve/ body length. It is advisable to get a little more than you think you’ll need.
Also note that I have listed the estimated meterages for the contrast colour both as a total and for each colour separately. The meterages listed for each colour separately are higher because I have added a larger safety margin for using multiple colours as opposed to just one. The reason for this is that you may use more or less of each colour depending on their order in the project.
