Calculation example for crochet blanket using Katun Bali Halus 10 ply
Baby blanket = 1500 yard = 1365 m : 143 m = 9.5 ball
Using Cashmillon DK size
Baby blanket = 1500 yards = 1365 m: 225 m = 6 balls.
Always buy one ball extra for any project you make incase you are running out of yarns because all yarn balls came in approximate length.
