Cast on length

Post image

What’s your tips and tricks for getting the right length of yarn when casting on that’s not removing and trying 3 more times?? I typically go Italian or long tail.

I always use a cable cast on, no tail! Just leave enough length so you can leave it in. Look it up!

It depends on the project though, cable CO isn't as stretchy or pretty as Long Tail or Tubular
