It depends on the weight of the yarn.
If you're trying to use an older pattern that only mentions yarn type and weight... you'll need to compare the pattern's desired gauge. Compare this number to yarns that knit up at a similar gauge.
When you find a yarn that is the same gauge, divide the total required weight by the weight of each skein. This tells you the total number of skeins you'll need for your pattern.
To get guesstimate of length, you first need to know if it's a #4 worsted weight, a #1 fine or if it's a #5 Or 6 Bulky Chunky weight. The smaller around the yarn, the more you would have of it and if it's big fuzzy yarn you'd have less length.
If you have the label or know which company made it you could go to their website and get length from there. The length is usually on the label.
Good Luck!
This varies with the thickness of the yarn. A conversion from weight to length should be given on the ball band. For worsted weight yarn 400 yd would be about 227 g.
It will depend on the type of yarn. 225 yards of worsted weight yarn is about 100g, but 225 yards of sock weight yarn is about 25g. What is the yarn type?
The yardage of a yarn can vary widely based on the weight and type of yarn. It is recommended to check the yarn label for the yardage per gram or contact the manufacturer for that specific yarn to determine the yardage for 620 grams.
The length of yarn in 50 grams can vary depending on the weight and type of yarn. It is best to check the yarn label or manufacturer's information to determine the yards in 50 grams for the specific yarn you are using.
it varies by company , type of yarn ( like wool , acrylic, blends, etc) but as a rule it would be around 200 yards up to about 275 yards . at 200 yards you would be figuring safe
50
Yarn is used inside of a baseball and not thread. It is wound so tightly that it appears to be thread when examined. Three layers of wool yarn and one layer of cotton yarn is used, the total length being approximately 371 yards. Click on the 'Making Baseballs' link below to read about how a baseball is made.
They can't be compared. A yard is a distance, an ounce is a weight. The length of 2 ounces of yarn would depend upon the thickness of the yarn and the type of material the yarn is made of (lambs wool, acrylic, etc). I have had some luck when substituting a yarn with a replacement that was an equivalent grams per meter (ounces per yard).
A skein of wool can come in different weights. There is not a specific amount of wool needed in a skein.
There should be 836 yards in a package of 16oz of yarn.
The number of yards in 750 grams of yarn will depend on the weight and thickness of the yarn. Different yarns have different yardage per gram, so you would need to check the label of the specific yarn you are using to determine the yardage.
There are no set rules about how many grams or yards of yarn per skein/ball of yarn. Different companies have different sized skeins/balls of yarn, and even between the different styles of yarns. Best bet would be to find the yarn that you would like to use for your project, and see how many grams in the ball then figure out how many balls you would need. A few numbers to keep in mind, 1070g = approximately 38oz, or about 2.4 pounds.
