Keep both declarations intact
Selected Hobbycraft Black310 Size5 product6404271008 says25m at£2. A Stitcher Black310 Size5 record with supplier code115AR/5-310 says15m. The evidence does not establish whether these are different put-ups or a listing error. This site does not silently choose a universal length for every Size5 skein.
Calculate only on the stated basis
On the selected25m declaration,£2 equals8p per metre. If the actual supplied length were15m,that same£2 would be about13.3333p per metre. This is a conditional arithmetic illustration,not a claim that the selected retailer actually supplies15m. The difference shows why confirming the label matters before calling an offer the cheapest.
A length-target example
A buyer choosing a50m matching-thread stock target could calculate two selected25m offers on the declared basis. That is not confirmation of50m received. If the paper band or seller reply establishes15m instead,the purchase quantity must be recalculated. Do not let a previously saved pack length persist after the actual offer changes.
Ask for a current product identifier
Request the current maker article reference,shade,size and net length shown on the paper band for the exact selected seller number. A generic reply saying PearlCotton is available in several sizes does not settle the put-up. Save the reply and quote date rather than replacing the earlier conflicting evidence without a record.
When to pause the length comparison
If an exact length determines the order and clarification is unavailable,leave that comparison provisional or choose a clearly established offer. Whole retail-unit counts can still describe what the ticket buys,but they do not resolve the missing length. Independent technical/content review and actual received-label verification remain pending;no unwinding or length-measurement trial was performed.
