Choosing Yarn for Knitting or Crochet Patterns
If you want to use a different brand of yarn from the one in a knitting or crochet pattern, you should match the yarn weight and the yardage. Look on the label for a symbol that looks like a skein of yarn with a number in it. That indicates the weight of the yarn. #1 is fingering yarn, #2 is baby weight, #3 is sport weight, #4 is worsted weight and #5 is bulky weight. You can also find the number of yards on the label.
You want to find a yarn that is the same weight as the one you are trying to replace. Make sure you get the same number of yards the pattern suggests so that you have enough yarn to finish the project. If you choose the wrong weight your product will not look right.
