Making Sure You Don't Run Out
Buy More Than Enough Yarn When buying yarn, for a specific project, buy one more skein than the pattern calls for, that way, you will know you have enough and any left overs can be used in a scrap project! This goes for any other type of craft supply you need to get a certain quantity of. Just get a little more than the project calls for.
