A tassel strand must wrap down and back, so the cut length is always longer than the finished tassel length before the head wrap and trim allowance are added.

Wrap count changes fullness more than finished length alone, so a dense tassel project can consume multiple skeins surprisingly quickly.
Start with twice the finished tassel length because each strand folds over, then add the yarn used to tie the head and a little trim allowance. That is the most common step people forget.
Medium yarn tassels often look balanced around 20 to 40 wraps, while finer thread may need many more to feel full. The calculator lets you tune density directly through the wrap count.
Yes. Even careful tassels need the ends evened out after tying, and a 1 to 2 inch trim allowance keeps the finished tassel from ending up shorter than planned.
Compare the total yardage required with the yardage on your skein label and round up. Multi-color or blended tassel sets usually need even more buffer because leftovers cannot always be shared evenly.
