2. 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)

3. Yarn weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight

   Changing yarn weight or needle size can have a significant impact on the finished project, so standardized systems have been spread about, as well as conversion systems for regional standards (especially needle sizes). [1] Yarn weight is important in achieving the correct gauge or tension for a particular project and can help with yarn ...

4. Hank (unit of measure) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_(unit_of_measure)

   In yarns for handcrafts such as knitting or crochet, hanks are not a fixed length but are sold in units by weight, most commonly 50 grams (2 oz). Depending on the thickness of the strand as well as the inherent density of the material, hanks can range widely in yardage per 50 gram (2 oz) unit; for example, 440 yards for a lace weight mohair ...

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.

7. Slug (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)

   The slug is a derived unit of mass in a weight-based system of measures, most notably within the British Imperial measurement system and the United States customary measures system. Systems of measure either define mass and derive a force unit or define a base force and derive a mass unit [ 1 ] (cf. poundal , a derived unit of force in a mass ...
