Guessing how much thread I need:

1 King Cone = 11,000 yds/10,058m* = 1,999,998 stitches**
1 King Cone = 10,000 yds/9,150m = 1,818,180 stitches
1 King Spool = 5,500 yds/5,000m = 1,000,000 stitches
1 King Spool = 3,250 yds/2,972m = 590,908 stitches
1 King Spool = 3,000 yds/2,740m = 545,454 stitches
1 King Spool = 2,500 yds/2,285m = 454,545 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 1,100 yds/1,000m = 200,000 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 1,000 yds/909m = 181,818 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 700 yds/694m = 127,272 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 500 yds/455m = 90,909 stitches
1 Mini-King Spool = 400 yds/364m = 72,727 stitches
1 Spool = 330 yds/300m = 60,000 stitches
1 Spool = 250 yds/227m = 45,455 stitches
1 Spool = 200 yds/182m = 36,363 stitches
1 Spool = 100 yds/91m = 18,182 stitches

*Based on .909m per 1yd
**Based on 181.818 stitches per yd

Thanx for the info i might come in handy * 4 u :)

Thank you some much for making up this list. I appreciate it a lot. Have always wondered how to work it out. I was scared of starting something and running out of thread before it was finished. Flower for you.

Thank you for the info. You are a great help to us all.

Wow, great, Shirl, thanks!! Now I feel more confident about FSL, not thinking I'll not be able to finish a project because I don't have enough thread.

Oh Shirlene, thank you for this guide, I always wanted to know, how many stitches there were in our spools of thread. This is neat, I will put it by my threads. A flower for you and all.

Thank you for that - I should have had it when making my last Easter basket. Probably won't be buying spools like that any more. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank You shirlener, This is very helpful info. I had wondered about this before Thank You again Here is a flower for you.
