Yarn Calculator: How to Determine the Amount of Yarn Needed for a Rug -...

I found a calculator tool for figuring out costs for projects

[nhjansen (Neil Jansen)]

I have designed and printed a mounting bracket to hold up your tufting frame on the shelf. Just set the lower crossbar to the correct height to support the bottom of your frame, and the width of the brackets along the top bar to the width of your frame.

Should be possible to tuft more, but some yarn management projects are up next.
