Different Yarn Weights Explained – for Beginners

Hello, beautiful soul! Welcome back to the channel.

If you’re new to the yarn world, I know different yarn weights (thicknesses) can be confusing. We’re not talking about how much the yarn weighs on a scale; we’re talking about how thick the strand is. This is referred to as the yarn weight.

You can have various yarn weights – like lace weight, fingering weight, sport weight, dk weight, worsted weight, chunky weight, bulky weight, super bulky weight, etc.

In this video, I show you examples of those different weights and what that means for you when deciding on projects.
