Beginner Crocheter

Hello,
I have just started crocheting 2 weeks ago. i have started a blanket in double knit wool using a size 6mm hook. The blanket size is 48" x 72". The wool is 100g. Can some help me or show me the easiest way to workout how many balls of wool I need to make this blanket please?

This aricle may have some helpful information to get you started.

Thank you

Always expect to need more yarn. That’s rule number one. Buy at least one more ball than you anticipate needing if you have to match dye lots or can’t just go buy another easily. salmonmac’s link looks to be a good source for estimating. I’m guessing you’re in the UK, is that correct? I only ask because US and UK crochet terminology differ. I guess this because you use wool where I would say yarn. What stitch or stitches are you using for your blanket?
