Additionally, tube yarn is very pleasant to the touch and long-lasting – the finished bed will serve your pet for a long time, and the possibility of machine washing it will help maintain its aesthetics and hygiene.

Those who already have some experience in hand weaving will easily estimate the amount of tube yarn needed to make a bed. For those of you who are just starting your adventure with chunky yarns, we answer below how much is needed to make a bed.
