Also important, you’ll learn how to calculate yardage requirements for your new yarn so you won’t run out in the middle of the project (or buy far more than you actually need).

This was super informative! I got the calculations right for yarn substitutes I intended to use for a pattern I'm knitting, but I had no idea even picking the right fiber material and ensuring the stitch gauge for the yarn closely matched the yarn for the original pattern would be important details to consider! I feel like I ended up with an understanding for ways I can use up the yarn in my stash and how to find the right patterns for these yarn after this class!
