I have a pattern I have been meaning to knit for a long time, for myself (imagine that!). I have some yarn that I LOVE LOVE LOVE, it is the Alpaca with a twist “Highlander” and is the same category and weight as the recommended “cotton ease” from the pattern. http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70177.html
My beloved yarn is 145 yards whereas the cotton-ease is 207 yards. I emailed Lion and they said they did not know if 145 would be enough to complete this hat. Can anyone tell me if 145 yards is typically enough for a hat?
