2. 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.

3. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Given the linear density and weight the yarn length can be calculated; for example: 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)

4. Yarn - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

   The Craft Yarn Council of America promotes a standardized industry system for measuring yarn weight, where weights are numbered from 0 (finest) to 7 (thickest). [31] Each weight can be described by a number and name: Size 0 yarn is called Lace, size 1 is Super Fine, size 2 is Fine, size 3 is Light, size 4 is Medium, size 5 is Bulky, size 6 is ...

5. Gauge (knitting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(knitting)

   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.

6. Twist per inch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist_per_inch

   A less precise method is to allow the single to ply against itself: the resulting two ply yarn is about half the number of twists per inch of the single. [2] Thus one can roughly find the number of twists per inch for the single, or one can use the doubled back yarn as a measure.
