How the calculation works

Swatch consumption is scaled to scarf width and length. Fringe or border yarn is added separately so finishing does not disappear inside the safety reserve.

Worked example

A 25 × 180 cm scarf with a 5% fringe allowance adds finishing yarn equal to 225 cm² of the measured fabric consumption.

Frequently asked questions

How should I allow for fringe?

Enter a finishing percentage based on your fringe or border plan. Use a larger allowance for long, dense fringe.
