The know-how of the yarn consumption regarding finished manufactures or single sewings has always been a necessary qualification to check yarn stocks. Several charts have been issued in order to reckon yarn consumptions, but none of them is certain: the variables among cloth, yarns and sewing conditions are many. Just to provide an hint, here is a schedule based on typical sewings made on two lengths of cloth with five stitches per centimetre.
| Point type | Total thread consumption in cm in one cm of sewing | Number of needles | Rapporto tra filo d'ago e filati del crochet (più copertura) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Punto annodato | 2 ½ | 1 | 1/1 |
| Punto catenella semplice | 4 | 1 | 1/0 |
| Punto catenella doppio | 5 ½ | 1 | 1/3 |
| Punto annodato zig-zag | 7 | 1 | 1/0 |
| Punto sopraggito 2 fili | 12 | 1 | 1,2/1 |
| Punto sopraggito 3 fili | 14 | 1 | 1/5 |
| Punto sopraggito con punto sicurezza 4 fili | 17 ½ | 2 | 1/1,4 |
| Punto sopraggito con finto punto sicurezza 4 fili | 18 | 2 | 1/3,3 |
| Punto sopraggito con punto sicurezza 5 fili | 20 | 2 | 1/3,4 |
| Punto sopraggito con punto sicurezza 6 fili | 21 | 3 | 1/2 |
| Punto ornamento con copertura superiore 4 fili | 25 | 2 | 1/3,3 |
