 COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA - Yarn Weights And Substitutions
With Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs 

**********************************

Since we are Doing a 

"Scrap Happy Year Long Crochet A Long 2022" 

And I have had lots of questions about yarn and 

yarn weight substitutions,

I decided to talk about it on today's Live Video Podcast. 

Maybe I can answer some of those questions.

Today we are discussing 
Yarn Weights and Substitutions.

All Yarns are classified into different yarn weights.

This refers to the yarn's strand thickness.

          0. Lace

             1. Super fine –Sock, Fingering

             2. Fine –Baby, Sport Weight

             3. Light  - Light Worsted Weight, DK Weight

             4. Worsted Weight, Afghan

             5. Bulky – Chunky weight, Rug yarns

             6. Super Bulky – Blanket

             7. Jumbo - Roving 

                 Although most yarns are put in these categories, 

                 there is still " wiggle" room between thicknesses.

What if I do not have the correct weight the

 pattern calls for, Can I substitute a 

different yarn or weight?

The answer is yes, but it can be a little tricky.

Maximo is doing a lot better 

and is on the mend.
