Yarn yardage estimator: skein count · case 04

A need of 2.3 skeins buys 2 and the project runs out.

Case contract

grams = garment_area / swatch_area * swatch_g; meters = grams * skein_m/skein_g; add margin_pct as a multiplier (meters*(1+margin/100)). skeins = ceiling(meters/skein_m); leftover = skeins*skein_m - meters. Return [meters, skeins, leftover] with meters and leftover half-up integers. Non-positive swatch area or skein weight -> "error: swatch".

Why this case matters

Designers and knitters estimate how many skeins to buy from a weighed swatch.
