A little help with yarn weights and gauges
So I’m searching and searching for the right patterns to use up the bins of yarn in my house with little success. It seems that the yarns I always want to use for something just won’t stack up. I don’t if you have those same problems, but I found this chart online and found it endlessly helpful. I don’t know why people haven’t just picked a yarn standard for each weight and stuck with it, but it seems like every pattern has a different name for yarn weights, and many just neglect to say it at all. So here are two vital websites for yarn substitutions:
A yarn weight system chart: Yarn Standards
And a yarn index, doesn’t have it all, but darn close: YarnDex
Hope these help with your substitution choices, and check back soon - I have many projects in the their final phases - many pictures and patterns to come soon!
