How to choose a yarn weight
Match your pattern
Patterns name a weight number or a word like DK or worsted. Pick the row with the same number or name.
Make a test swatch
Work a 10 cm square first. More stitches than the pattern asks for? Go up a hook size; fewer, go down.
Label first
The hook and needle ranges here are the standard guide. The size printed on the yarn label comes first.
Not sure which weight?
Send us a photo of your pattern and we'll suggest the yarn.
