Shownotes

“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.
