“Weight a Minute: An Exploration of Yarn Weights and Whys” demystifies yarn weight
systems for crocheters, connecting industrial terms like tex, denier, and Nm to
everyday labels like DK, Worsted, and Bulky. ReRe explains why yarn labels
differ across countries, how to use WPI and swatching for smart yarn
substitution, and shares a simple five-step checklist so your projects keep
their intended fit and drape. Listeners also get access to a free Yarn Weight
Conversion Sheet PDF to make shopping and stash-diving easier.
