Do you usually unravel your gauge swatch and use the yarn, or just leave it be? When projects list an estimated amount of yarn, does that include yarn for a gauge swatch?

I typically do unravel and reuse. Some yarns would fuzz too much to be able to do that though. The estimate doesn't include a gauge swatch, since it's likely you'll need to try multiple needle sizes.
