    l/m = 1693 × l m /Nec × m/kg, where l/m is the yarn length in metres, l m /Nec is the English cotton count and m/kg is the yarn weight in kilograms. The following length units are defined. Bundle: usually 10 lb (4.5 kg) Thread: a length of 54 in (1.4 m)—the circumference of a warp beam; Lea: 120 yd (110 m) Hank: a length of 7 leas or 840 yd ...

  3. Yarn weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight

    Yarn weight is important in achieving the correct gauge or tension for a particular project and can help with yarn substitution. The Craft Yarn Council of America has developed a system that seeks to standardize the labeled weights of yarn. [2] Most yarns state their weight on the ball band but some may not, only giving the composition.

    Yarn for hand-knitting is usually sold as balls or skeins (hanks), and it may also be wound on spools or cones. Skeins and balls are generally sold with a yarn-band, a label that describes the yarn's weight, length, dye lot, fiber content, washing instructions, suggested needle size, likely gauge/tension, etc. It is common practice to save the ...

  5. Gauge (knitting) - Wikipedia

    Yarn weight is a factor; thicker yarns with less loft overall produce larger stitches than thinner yarns (reducing the number of stitches per width and length). Larger knitting needles also produce larger stitches, giving fewer stitches and rows per inch. Changing needle size is the best way to control one's own gauge for a given pattern and yarn.

    Thread: A length of 54 in (the circumference of a warp beam) Bundle: Usually 10 lb; Lea: A length of 80 threads or 120 yards [21] Denier: this is an alternative method. It is defined as a number that is equivalent to the weight in grams of 9000m of a single yarn. 15 denier is finer than 30 denier. Tex: is the weight in grams of 1 km of yarn. [22]
