How much linen?

I have decided to make a set of towels for a bride-to-be and am considering buying the Euroflax in a 1/2 lb cones to save some $$. Anyone know how much it takes to make one of the moss grids? I'm trying to figure out how many cones I need.

Thanks

I think that the moss grid takes one hank, correct? The cone is about 650 yards. You should, and I don't know for sure, be able to get a set of two out of one cone.

Thanks, I was wondering if there's much left from that one hank...

I actually came up an eentsy bit short on the first one I just finished! I realized I was coming up short so I reduced the repeats of the center part of the "grid" by 2 rows on my last repeat and ended up finishing with about 10 inches to spare.

I added more rows to my first handtowel and actually had yarn left over. I did use a size smaller needle than the pattern calls for.
