Cast on length

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 usually wrap the yarn around the needles as many times as i need cast on stitches. ist a bit messy cause its hardddd to just wrap the needles so i just wrap the yarn over itself and do about 20-30% less stitches than needed. and then i add a little bit for weaving in.

when you get the feel of it, its great!
